PTV3 comprises of Markus “Fabulous” Persson on keyboards, drummer Morrison Edley aka Edward ODowd (also of The Toilet Boys), guitarist David Maxxx (developing from The Tadpoles), Alice Genese on bass guitar and vocals (formally of Pretty Boys), Retinal Stimulation Video programming for live "gigs" and other elements of the PTV3 project is by Nicolas Jenkins (Sterile Cowboys Productions) in association with Genesis (for Porridge With Everything Inc.), Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge on sampling keyboards (also of Thee Majesty) and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge - lead voices, noise bass guitar, electric violin (also of Throbbing Gristle and Thee Majesty).

While Hell Is Invisible, Heaven is Her/e is the first recording by PTV3 the current line-up has been active for the past two years and much of the material on the new album was developed from ideas that emerged during PTV3’s extensive North American and European touring. Throughout 2005, Genesis and ODowd led the group in slowly fleshing out and refining the new songs with Eddie having a decisive hand in their shaping. Then special guests were invited to add finishing flourishes: the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Nick Zinner contributes his distinctive guitar playing to “In Thee Body” and “Maximum Swing,” the Butthole Surfers’ Gibby Haynes adds vocals to “Maximum Swing” and "I Don’t Think So," and renowned author Douglas Rushkoff -- the original keyboardist of PTV3 -- plays on “Lies And Then.”

Whilst this album is not a ”concept album” or a musical play per se it does center around a more or less chronological journey through death to resurrection of the physical body and through confusion via revelation to spiritual epiphany. All of the experiences unfold viewed through the magickal lens of “Pandrogeny.” Pandrogeny is the core philosophical system of PTV3, deeply coloring the lyrics, CD packaging graphics and live video projections. The aim of Pandrogeny is to celebrate similarities in humans rather than be at the mercy of fear of differences as the only viable path to a unified evolution of the human species. From human to humane, where the “E” stands for evolution. Change is in and of itself always preferable to inertia. To that end s/he and her other half Lady Jaye have simultaneously got identical breast implants on Valentines Day 2003 and subsequently Lady Jaye has got a chin implant, eye surgery, silicon in lips, nose surgery, coloured contact lenses to match Genesis' color. Genesis has had cheek implants, silicon in lips, facial tattoos match Lady Jaye’s beauty marks, larger breast implants (38 "D"), various facial surgeries, liposuction at the waist. Their end is to create a hermaphroditic entity called Breyer P-Orridge.

His/erTORY
Psychic TV was first born in 50 Beck Road, Hackney in 1982. Persuaded and encouraged by his cool friend guitarist Alex Fergusson of punk trailblazers Alternative TV an initially reluctant Genesis P-Orridge returned to active duty inventing new music following his termination of Throbbing Gristle in 1981. Six months later the duo completed the nucleus of the new unit with ex-TG’er Peter Christopherson. By that time Genesis had already conceived, named and pioneered the genre “Industrial Music” with Throbbing Gristle. Along with the Velvet Underground, Throbbing Gristle is and remains one of the most influential rock groups of the last 30 years; if you haven't heard their music, you will certainly have listened to someone who has. In Throbbing Gristle, Genesis and company synthesized the influences and philosophies of Gen’s close friends and collaborators, including Beat writer William S. Burroughs; Beat poet and painter Brion Gysin; psychedelic shaman Dr Timothy Leary; queer activist film maker Derek Jarman; and those of legendary occultist Austin Osman Spare, theorist John Cage and various seminal underground authors, thinkers, artists and film makers. The group “TG” produced some of the most unsettling and thought-provoking music of all time. Their pioneering "Industrial" sound and self-sufficient approach to record distribution has had a profound impact, becoming key elements of underground music production and distribution ever since (the definitive TG history Wreckers Of Civilisation by Simon Ford is still available, published by Black Dog Books, London).
