Pacific 231, Unusual Perversions, VP231, LP, 1984

Pacific 231 is the musical project of Pierre Jolivet (site, myspace, wikipedia), he is the pioneer of the industrial french scene at the begining of the 80'. Together with Axel Kyrou (Vox populi!) he creates VP231, an independant music label, and this lp was produced in 1984. He multiplies collaborations with Vox Populi!, Le Syndicat, Psyclones (= Psy 231) and many more. After a solo break in the 90', Pacific 231 is reactivated in the middle of the 2000.

About this lp Pierre told me : "Unusual Perversions was my first mature production. Before that - Psychic Euthanasia was a limited edition auto-produced tape of my first experiments from 1981-83. After the short lived Berlinerluft, a outfit including Axel Kyrou, Bertrand Wolf and myself, I felt moving away from the New Wave genre toward a raw Industrial sound as been much closer to my sensibility of the time. I consider the album as my very first step toward was I consider now: sound exploration."
