OFF/HW: Pressurehed musings

[Amphetamine Embalmer]

Pressurehed... what a great band they were. As most on
this list know, they put out 3 rather brilliant
industrial/punk/psychedelic albums in the 90's after
backing Nik Turner on his returning 'Sphynx' solo
album on Cleopatra in 1992, being 'Infadrone' (1992),
'Sudden Vertigo' (1994) and 'Explaining The
Unexplained' (1998). Fans of stuff like Chrome and
Helios Creed, Ministry, Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come,
Killing Joke, early Husker Du, F/i,  Jessamine, Voivod
or Alien Sex Fiend should at least get some sort of
decent buzz off this stuff, not to mention anyone into
Hawkwind's punkier 80's and 90's output. Underways,
Pressurehed eventually split into bands and side
projects Farflung (heady punk psychedelic guitar
spacerock meanderings on Flipside, taking off from the
original Pressurehed sound) and Anubian Lights
(ancient Egyptian and middle eastern tinged hashish
music of age old technological ambient meanderings, on
Cleopatra with members of Hawkwind and Gong), and
toured stateside alot with Nik Turner's US Hawkwind
shows during the 90's. Actually a rather French
sounding ensemble, don't you think, Pressurehed's mr.
Grenas, Shelley, Fox et. al... particularly
considering their early roots in hardcore and
industrial.
