Description
Available as a double CD, double LP (300 copies on black vinyl and 200 copies on purple vinyl)
After several tape-only releases in 1984 and an LP release with Swedish label Psychout Productions in 1985, Controlled Bleeding released their second album on the then brand new Dossier label in Germany, a label with which Controlled Bleeding would collaborate closely over the next years. Experimental, noise-laden industrial, Body Samples is at times less abrasive than the earlier tape experiments, and was influenced by ambient soundscapes, rhythmic noise, and the early works of Coil. The album also eschews the longer pieces found on the tape releases for a series of shorter works, many under two minutes, poignantly reflecting its name, Body Samples.
Both the original vinyl and CD have been out of print for years. The Artoffact Records reissue expands the original vinyl pressing into a gorgeous remastered double LP, with a healthy dose of unreleased bonus tracks. The records are housed in a gatefold sleeve. The remastered double CD comes in a digipak.
