Factrix/cazazza
California Babylon
California Babylon is a far more sparse and caustic offering than FACTIX's debut, Scheintot, documenting their live
collaboration with notorious artist MONTE CAZAZZA, who along with recording for THROBBING GRISTLE's Industrial label
also coined its "Industrial Music for Industrial People" motto. Originally released on the seminal Subterranean Records
in 1982, California Babylon remains one of the best collections of violent guitar and primitive machine-noise resonance
ever released. Featuring a musical treatment of the Brion Gysin permutation poem, "Kick That Habit Man," with
avant-garde percussionist Z'EV backing the band. This first time reissue comes from the original analog source. LP with
archival inserts. CD+DVD contains bonus material of four studio tracks previously unreleased in the US, the "Prescient
Dreams" single, and a feature-length movie, the so-called "Night of the Succubus" (live in San Francisco 1981), complete
with special appearance by Mark Pauline from SURVIVAL RESEARCH LABS.
