RE-UPLOAD: Chris & Cosey - Paard Van Troje, Den Haag, The Netherlands - xx.xx.1986 (Flac)

Excellent FM broadcast. Thanks to FREDHEADSET for sharing this recording. Recorded and broadcasted by VPRO Radio for the program Spleen.

Exact date unknown but probably June 1986

Chris & Cosey are a band formed in 1981, consisting of partners Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, both previously members of industrial music pioneers Throbbing Gristle.

When Throbbing Gristle broke up in 1981, Carter and Tutti signed with Rough Trade Records and began recording as Chris & Cosey. They recorded four albums for the label using electronics, sampling, Cosey's vocals and cornet playing. In 1983, they formed their own independent record label Creative Technology Institute (aka CTI) to release more experimental works and collaborations. The first CTI projects, Elemental 7 and European Rendezvous, were released through Cabaret Voltaire's DoubleVision label.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the duo worked with a number of independent labels such as Nettwerk (Canada), Play It Again Sam (Belgium), Staalplaat (Netherlands), and Wax Trax! (USA), and World Serpent Distribution (UK). In 1992, for artistic and health reasons, the duo stopped touring and concentrated on studio work. They returned to performing live in 1998, documented on the Union album.

They have collaborated with such artists as Monte Cazazza, Coil, Current 93, John Duncan, Erasure, Eurythmics, Boyd Rice, and Robert Wyatt. Their 1988 Core album is a collection of such collaborations.

NOTES:

Following festival opener Jah Wobble, it's time for something completely
different: Chris & Cosey.

For those who don't know, Chris & Cosey is one of the aliases of Chris Carter
and Cosey Fanni Tutti, many moons ago (founding) members of seminal industrial
oddball collective, Throbbing Gristle.

Anno 2014, they have updated an assortment of their post-TG electronic work
for the modern age. The result is a flavour of techno, overlaid with Tutti's
vocals.

On stage, Carter controls most of the gadgetry, while Tutti sings, plays a
futuristic-looking guitar, and twiddles the occasional knob and dial.

You'll hear some static buzzing between songs, which I can assure you was
audible over the PA and not the result of a faulty connection in your taper's
equipment.

The sound in the venue was superb and the recording does nothing to detract
from that. Fans of the duo's work should be pleased with this addition to
their collection.

As a non-follower of Chris & Cosey's work, compiling the set-list for this
show was painful. I've managed to figure 12/13ths of it out, so if someone
else can reveal the title of the second track, we'll have a complete set.
