Psychic TV (sometimes spelled Psychick TV), or PTV, is an English experimental video art and music group, formed by performance artist Genesis P-Orridge and video director Peter Christopherson after the break-up of Throbbing Gristle. Psychic TV is signed to Some Bizzare Label working along with Alex Fergusson, musician and producer from Alternative TV.

In 1988 the collective recorded a batch of songs in London, putting them out in a couple of compilations under pseudonyms – giving the impression that London was home to a thriving acid house scene all of its own (these compilations were Jack the Tab’s Acid Tablets Vol. 1 and Tekno Acid Beat).

The band began publishing a monthly series of 23 live albums in 1986, but stopped without explanation after only 17. The tenth, a picture disk most commonly referred to as Album 10, could only be obtained by submitting tokens contained in each of the previous nine releases. The band subsequently earned an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records for most records released in one year.

Contributors to Psychic TV have included artists such as Coil, Current 93, Hafler Trio, The Cult, Soft Cell, Fred Giannelli, XKP, Master Musicians of Jajouka, Matthew Best, Abino Byrolle, Daniel Simon Black, William Breeze, Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson, Derek Jarman, John Gosling, Timothy Leary, Rose McDowall, Stephen Kent, Vagina Dentata Organ, Andrew Weatherall, Larry Thrasher, Z’EV, Zef Noi$e, Jeff Berner, and many others.

Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (a.k.a. T.O.P.Y.), was formed as an organisation at the same time as the band. T.O.P.Y. was intended to be a magical order and the philosophical wing of Psychic TV, but also presented an image of being a cult-like fanclub for the group. P-Orridge left it in 1991.

Psychic TV released early albums of acid house music in (1988) as fake compilations, such as Jack The Tab and Tekno Acid Beat. After breaking up in 1999, Psychic TV reformed as PTV3 with a new line-up in 2003.

Psychic Tv Tekno Acid Beat Rara

Psychic TV Tekno Acid Beat (1988) topy 039 Pure Acid! The conversion is total. This lp contains 'Joy' and 'Wicked', two of the best acid-house tune that PTV released. A1 DJ Doktor Megatrip Genesis P-Orridge with Luv Bass Dave Ball - Joy (Joy-Orgasm-Youth) A2 Sickmob Fred Gianelli - Sandoz Tabman.
This double CD highlights Psychic TV's acid house dance music peak. Titled Jack the Tab TEKNO ACID BEAT, it is the second best album by the band followed only by TOWARDS THE INFINITE BEAT. My assessment of this album is that it takes lysergic (LSD) rock to psychedelic heights never dreamed of by those posers The Beatles (just kidding)!
