There are six CDs in this series that came in three double CD packages that also came with a 32 page booklet. This is the first set from 1998. I also have the second set called Origin of the Species Too. Both bought at Borders. I never did see the third set. I must admit that I have never put these on before. I listened to disc one today.  Unlike yesterday&#8217;s CD that was more Ambient and Chill-Out music these tracks from &#8217;87 to &#8217;92 are all Acid House, Techno or EDM and are all danceable. Not too different from Orb. Lots of cool electronics and vocals from Genesis P-Orridge( born Neil Megson} with samples of other voices. I liked listening to all of it. A live version of I.C. Water, a tribute to Ian Curtis was what I liked best. The booklet has many photos, an essay about the band written by Francis Pinkienicker and the origin of the tracks written by P-Orridge. There is also a long account (6 pages) of his relationship with Ian Curtis of Joy Division telling how Curtis called him the night before his suicide. P-Orridge attempted suicide on stage one night but failed. He was a strange guy but made some interesting music with Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV. P-Orridge died from leukaemia at age 70. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Origin Of The Species is a compilation CD.
