Remastered CD release in slimline DVD case packaging Named after the Roman mythological 'Spirit of the Place' the Psychogeographical Commission's debut album attempts to explore further the Psychogeographical nature of our built environment and is therefore written to be played whilst interacting with a city, but it sounds equally great on a stereo. Written throughout the six month period at times of lunar or solar significance, each song portrays a thought, experience or mood of the time and place of it's conception, a true record of the Sun's dark passenger.Ġ2 - Beneath the bricks a wave + Alphaville 1Ġ7 - Fertile omnipotence of the undersideġ0 - Twenty seven openings + Alphaville 4ĬD release in slimline DVD case packaging The Psychogeographical Commission's second album is an attempt to psychologically portray the mind of a Patient Zero wandering through their Urban surroundings infected with a solar disease at the Summer Solstice and tracking the advancement of symptoms as the sun goes from the height of it's earthly power to it's astronomical nadir.

On the 31 August 2013, 125 years to the day after the first of the canonical five murders, The Psychogeographical Commission visited the five Nicholas Hawksmoor Churches which form a giant pentagram in the East End of London. The time has come to seperate out the murders and put the ‘Jack the Ripper’ meme to rest Jack the Ripper is a fabrication of the media, empowered and perpetuated to this day by the Tourist Industry. There is a growing theory that a single ‘Jack’ never existed and the widely publicised weapon and modus operandi were ceased upon by criminals in the area to allow them to murder with impunity.
