hello swirl PTV has a large oeuvre, much I haven't heard, but Kondole / Dead Cat is a remarkably ambient industrial album compared to many of their other albums I've heard.

The simplicity of composition of Dead Cat and Kondole fails to make the repetition, and slow or subtle changes, boring. It's excellent.

David Lewis' film has the power of Sex Pistols manifesting, inspiring anyone to make interesting film. Dead Cat reignites fire of impulsive and expansive creativity doused by adult vicissitude.

Ben Harris Everything I've ever heard by this band betrays a copious capacity for surprise and eclecticism, so I'd personally recommend just going for whatever record's album art catches your eye and give it a gander. Or, seeing as you're already here, maybe give this collection of long, menacing, paranoiac soundscapes, reminiscent of Throbbing Gristle's most pared-down and harrowing output, your close attention. Favorite track: Dead Cat (Short Version).

DarkDom “…what could be more beautiful that such a sustaining & chronic radical as Gen could have provided us all – in the form of KONDOLE – with a piece of truly necessary Everyday Listening?” Favorite track: Dead Cat (Short Version).
