Maybe he has improved..he had nowhere to go but up.

It's too bad your sick of hearing it because there is truth to the statement that
PTV had an influential effect on the acid-house scene. Maybe you weren't \
around at the time. You can't just pull out a few records and make
pronouncements based on what you hear years after the fact. For those of us
who were around at the height of the acid-house scene it's obvious PTV
played a role. To say otherwise because you happen to not like Mr. P-Orridge
is rather weak. I'm not saying PTV were *the* innovators of acid-house
but they did play a role in the "scene."

Yeah right. It was his band (TG) that has had one of the biggest far-reaching
influences on modern underground (and even not so underground) music. I guess
TG were bandwagon jumpers as well....

If you are not one for gossip why spread rumors as you just have. If you have facts,
fine...make them public but to make comments like these that you clearly state
are rumors is again weak. I'm not one of these idiots who worships everything
Genesis does but one has to admit he and TG/PTV have had a major impact on
underground music if one is even the least bit objective.
