scottheisel Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 $39.98 + shipping @ Cleopatra's store $42.98 Prime @ Amazon For Immediate Release Deluxe Vinyl Reissue Of The 1990 Debut Album From Industrial Supergroup PIGFACE Featuring MARTIN ATKINS, WILLIAM RIEFLIN, TRENT REZNOR, And STEVE ALBINI, Plus Members Of REVOLTING COCKS, THE JESUS LIZARD, SKINNY PUPPY, KMFDM And More! Los Angeles, CA – When drummer Martin Atkins departed the post-punk juggernaut Public Image Ltd. for the last time in 1985, he had no shortage of bands clamoring for his creative input. Throughout the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Atkins found himself collaborating with a host of like minded acts such as NIN, Killing Joke and, most notably, William Rieflin of Revolting Cocks and Ministry. Together, Rieflin and Atkins would team up for their most adventurous project yet, an industrial music supergroup that would unite the talents of their various associates under one banner, Pigface! In 1990, the project debuted with Gub, a sprawling, genre-defying masterpiece that shook the music world and showed just how far Atkins and his associates were willing to push the boundaries of electronic, rock and music in general. The album notably contains the original version of “Suck” featuring Trent Reznor, which Reznor would later re-record for the 1992 NIN EP Broken. With contributions from even more industrial music luminaries including Revolting Cocks' Chris Connelly, The Jesus Lizard's David Yow, Skinny Puppy's Nivek Ogre, Ministry's Paul Barker, KMFDM's En Esch, Steve Albini and more, Gub has more than earned its reputation as one of the most adventurous sound recordings ever made. Reflecting on the album, Atkins shares, “This captures such a liberating time - to assemble such a cast of characters and not care what the results were (But, of course we did) and we delighted in the luxury of legendary Chicago Trax studios and the skills of Steve Albini to capture and communicate it all. Strange to think that Trent’s involvement was actually a cause for discussion - NIN didn’t really mean anything at this point and it was suggested that we could save the $150 round trip airfare from Cleveland if we didn’t involve him. I vetoed the request. Bill Rieflin and I hatched the idea for the project during warmups for the Ministry cage tour and the immense contribution of his partner Francesca Sundsten to the project by creating the iconic artwork cannot be overstated.” Now the album is getting the deluxe reissue treatment courtesy of Cleopatra Records. Not only has Francesca Sundsten’s stunning artwork for the album been fully restored, but now it sports a gatefold image of the original promotional picture for Pigface, cut and pasted together by Chris Connelly. Plus all of the bonus remixes and additional track versions have been packaged together for the first time on one release. The CD comes in a deluxe digipak for CD while the vinyl version is pressed in a variety of colors – your choice of BLACK & WHITE SPLATTER vinyl, BLUE, RED or PURPLE!
