Burroughs has inspired generations of writers, artists and musicians. Gysin was also a skilled networker and revered expat: together with his friend Paul Bowles, he more or less constructed the post-beatnik romanticism for life and magic in Morocco, and was also a protagonist in an international gay culture with inspirational reaches in both America and Europe…

What's History
Originally released as a cassette on the cryptic Austrian tape label, Nekrophile, in 1981, this simplistic experimental recording was a industrial classic ahead of it’s time.
