fantastic!

Really great footage here! Plus, this is a great, solid addition to Cosey's already fascinating book!

This treads a bit too lightly on Gen, but he definitely gets what he deserves as well as plenty of time to defend himself. Still, a sequel going deeper into his wacky control tactics, abuse and just horrible personality traits is needed.

Also, these people should definitely do a more TG focused doc next; as Chris and Peter aren't terribly present here. Heck, bring on a 4 hour Coil doc while I'm dreaming...

As an American, a lot of info about COUM was lacking back in the late-70s and early 80s, so everything about this doc and Cosey's book are an amazing feast for fans. Seek it out!

This documentary is a wonderful introduction to the work of some of the greatest artists of all time -- and it is important, insofar as there is a major lack of availability of information on this work available today. The producers have done a magnificent job in gathering obscure footage and photography and narratives, and made excellent decisions on the score.

In my ideal world, the producers of this doc would deliver another 10 hours of content and go even deeper into the various subjects -- I could watch a whole documentary just on the story of "Live at Oundle School", or the London Fields years, or the technical side of TG's music, or Prostitution, etc.

So - awesome work that made me contemplate what is possible for me and for the world, and left me wanting more!
