about

A wild breakbeat track with metallic, sinister/ironic vocals and cinematic horn fanfares, Hallucination Generation burst onto the unsuspecting dancefloors sometime in 1989.

It was the first track concocted by the unholy alliance formed by one Lord Solomon Pearbrook (aka Samy Birnbach from Minimal Compact, aka DJ Morpheus), and Norwegian techno wunderkind Per Martinsen (aka Syamese, Mental Overdrive and Illumination), collectively known as The Gruesome Twosome.

The flip side was entitled Hollywood Babylon Revisited (a nod to filmmaker Kenneth Anger's scandalous book). Pearbrook aka Morpheus went on the record the Candy For Strangers album in collaboration with Bertrand Burgalat, a record teeming with corrupt TV evangelists, serial killers, cracked actors, reformed drug cases, gamblers and assorted psychopaths, all portrayed with ferocious humour.

Released in the US as part of SSR's Sampler et Sans Reproche compilation, Hallucination Generation became a club favourite and appeared in the Billboard and Rolling Stone club chart as well as in underground dance chart Rockpool (where it was described as “angst-ridden industrial sampling set to a hip-hop beat”).

This EP also includes two tracks produced in collaboration with Mute artists Fortran 5 & Paul Kendall, and a Solar Quest remix of I’m The Light
