Label Spotlight: PIAS

30 years ago, the fourth Young Gods album, T.V. Sky, was released. A timeless record, surely the most accessible and the most effective and certainly the most successful.

This cathedral of sounds, of which ‘Skinflowers’ constituted the vault, allowed this avant-garde group and creators of a new style to conquer a very large audience. 

The primordial shadow of The Doors floated throughout this record, which ended with a sort of hypnotic road trip that announced the rest of their more atmospheric career. 

With Roli Mosimann (the fourth member of the group) once again at the helm of production, ‘T.V. Sky’ entered the very closed club of rock masterpiece albums. 

When asked about the most influential groups in the early 1990s, Mike Patton (Faith No More), Devin Townsend, Maynard James Keenan (Tool), Al Jurgensen (Ministry), Trent Treznor (Nine Inch Nails) and The Edge (U2), among many others, all quote The Young Gods. All connoisseurs will tell you that they have their place in any ultimate discotheque. 

On this occasion of their anniversary, the record is reissued as a remastered version.
