Psi-com
PSI-COM is the first band of Perry Farrell. They only released one five-song EP and is more along the lines of a goth sounding record than the funk metal sound that Jane's Addiction later became synonymous with.
Record Info
The first song is titled "Ho Ka Hey". This is a Native American expression that was used by warriors to psych themselves up when heading into battle. Xiola, the third track on the album, is interesting in that it is the first time Perry discovers "the voice" that he would later use in Jane's Addiction. He uses a more low pitched voice on the rest of the album and does not really sound like what you would expect from Jane's Addiction.
Miscellanea
The cover of the album appears to be a photo of a person dancing. The person depicted is actually a corpse superimposed on a background. The symbol on the cd itself resembles a star, but it is actually a symbol, from Crowley's tarot cards, that represents male-female duality. The record was recently re-released with the help of Perry's current girlfriend who is also the owner of an online sex toy store.
