Conspiracy International / UK / RE 2023 / LP, Blue / (Remastered Edition)
Technø Primitiv (1985) by Chris & Cosey is a remastered synth-pop classic, reissued for the first time since 1990. Known for its striking cover art featuring Cosey as a cyberpunk figure, the album showcases the duo's innovative fusion of synth-pop, body music, and post-industrial sounds. Following their departure from Throbbing Gristle, C&C embraced a sleeker, more club-oriented style, balancing Chris Carter's inventive rhythm programming with Cosey's ethereal vocals. Tracks like "He’s an Arabian" blend digi-dancehall and synth-pop, while highlights include the electro-pop "Hazey Daze" and the cyberpunk noir "Do or Die." The album remains influential in electronic music, bridging TG's industrial roots with melodic, danceable pop.
