Description

Industrial Records is proud to announce the much anticipated TWO album release DESERTSHORE / THE FINAL REPORT, a unique collaboration by Chris Carter, Peter Sleazy Christopherson and Cosey Fanni Tutti, available from 18th December 2012.

This is a two album release celebrating both the progress inherent in change and the fulfilment of two exceptional, yet separate projects. Desertshore The Desertshore project is a re-imagined cover version of Nicos seminal 1970 album first conceived by the late Peter Sleazy Christopherson in Berlin 2006. In 2010 at his home in Bangkok, he re-focussed his approach readying to record guest vocalists while Chris and Cosey prepared material in their UK studio for his return there in December. Sadly, Sleazy unexpectedly died in his sleep on the 25th November in Bangkok.

Chris and Cosey made a commitment to Sleazy to complete the Desertshore project picking up from where they left off just prior to his untimely passing. With enthusiastic support and contributions from so many who were close to Sleazy, especially the guest artistes whose work he admired; Antony, Marc Almond, Blixa Bargeld, Sasha Grey and Gaspar Noé, the project is now complete. a quite remarkable set of songs, a repurposing of Nicos maudlin, scraping sorrow into the deep mindmassaging electronics that characterised later live work by Throbbing Gristle, X-TG and Carter Tutti, arguably even Coils Ape Of Naples.

The Final Report Throughout their 36 year friendship Chris Carter, Peter Sleazy Christopherson and Cosey Fanni Tutti produced many pioneering and acclaimed collaborative works together.

These trio sessions were without exception always very productive; ideas that produced many hours of recordings, sound experiments, research in new performance possibilities, visuals, the ongoing design and building of new and innovative instruments; a constant restless exploration of new paths together. The Final Report album has been completed from their final 2009/2010 sessions together at Chris and Coseys studio in Norfolk. This album stands as the final report; a celebration, a loving remembrance of their unique partnership. Industrial Records Ltd are proud to release these TWO extraordinary recordings.
