If you think you love Jane's Addiction and Porno For Pyros, check out Psi-Com. This CD is an amazing 5-song testament to Perry Farrell's unique visions. While it takes a bit to get used to (Perry sounds like Peter Murphy from Bauhaus on this CD!), it is a rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Anyone who likes art rock or goth rock will love Psi-Com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great early Perry Farrell, June 19, 1998

By A Customer

Although this is not the howling Perry Farrell that we are used to in Jane's A, this five song sample has some of the great lyrics that define Perry's songwriting. Every song is excellent and has great replay value. "Human Condition" and "City of 9 Gates" will amaze you with their subject matter, and the scream in "Xiola" marks the discovery of Perry's trademark screaming. Definately a must have for all Janes Addiction/Porno for Pyros fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perry's LA Deathrock days, March 27, 2000

By	Franklin Schalk (Fremont, CA) - See all my reviews

Perry Farrell, talent behind Janes Addiction and Porno for Pyros started out in a one off band from LA called Psi Com. My first reaction after hearing this CD was, "Why didnt he stick with THEM!" Personally, I like this album much better than early Janes. The music is moody, thoughtful, gloomy and just plain good. Very mid-eighties Goth/Post Punk sounding. It goes very well with Siouxsie's Juju album, PiL's Second Edition and Christian Death's Only Theatre of Pain. Perry, you should have stayed a Goth and left the funk punk to the Peppers!
