For all intents and purposes, Pink Industry was a duo of former Pink Military leader/vocalist Jayne Casey (also formerly of Big in Japan) and bassist/keyboardist Ambrose Reynolds (Frankie Goes to Hollywood). Other contributors came and left with frequency. Continuing in the path that Pink Military was headed during their brief existence, Casey and Ambrose's group combined the "anything goes" spirit of post-punk with further use of experimental electronics. Signed to Zulu, they debuted in 1982 with the Forty-Five EP. The LPs Low Technology and Who Told You, You Were Naked were released the following year. Two years passed before New Beginnings, which proved to be their final work together. A series of retrospective packages followed throughout the late '80s and '90s; a self-titled released on Cathexis got the ball rolling in 1988, followed by 1990's Retrospective on Parade Amoureuse and 1995's New Naked Technologies on Cri Du Chat Disques.

Pink Industrys "Low Technology" is just out as second release on the german label Isegrimm Records,which brought you the industrial legend Gerechtigkeits Liga back, exactly 3 years ago.
Isegrimm is very proud to bring this classic electropop band from Liverpol which its first album "Low Technology" back in the minds and markets in a very nice slightly redisgned six sided digipack .The first 12" and some unreleased tracks are included on the almost 63 min running cd.
Pink Industry was formed in Liverpool ,from Jayne Casey(former Big in Japan and Pink Military) and Ambrose Reynolds(from Franky goes to Hollywood also worked with Royal Family &The Poor )and released the first 12" 45 and the first album Low Technology back in 1982.
All in all 20 tracks with the lovely,hypnotic voice of Jayne and some totally unreleased tracks will bring you back that good old feeling,where vinyl was god.
26.2.1983 in "Sounds" ....."Is this the end" is so close to Nico that it hurts.
The pressing is limited to 1000 copies.
The remaining albums will follow in chronological order and also the solo album of Ambrose Reynold is planned to be rereleased.
It was a very hearty thing to rerelease this band as it is my alltime favourite together with Death in June.
