about
Following decades of staunch independence, Portion Control signed to Artoffact Records in late 2025. Alongside new material, the label is curating and reissuing the group's back catalogue as a series of box sets, allowing their work to be fully appreciated at last.
The first of these sets is scheduled for release on 14th August 2026. Entitled ‘1983-86 - Hit The Pulse to Purge…’, the 4xCD package and digital variant consists of 74 tracks that include the 1983 mini-LP ‘Hit The Pulse’, the full length albums ‘..Step Forward’ (1984) and ‘Psycho Bod Saves The World’ (1986), the classic original 12” singles 'The Great Divide’, ‘Go-Talk’ and ‘Raise The Pulse’, plus the ‘Purge’ EP (1986). Additional material includes B sides, compilation tracks, rarities, remixes, demos and two concert recordings from 1984 and 1985.
The first example from the set is a rebuild of the classic ‘Refugee’ VIDEO from the 1984 album ‘..Step Forward’. With its subject matter more relevant than ever, Rhys Fulber of Front Line Assembly grasped the opportunity to create this remix.
All 74 tracks have been fully remastered by Paul Lavigne at Kontrast Mastering. 16 have never previously been released, with a further 12 appearing on CD and digitally for the first time. The 4xCD box set is packaged in a 5 panel ecopak with a 24 page booklet containing archive photos and a new design by Stefan Alt.
A limited edition red vinyl LP consisting of 10 key tracks will also be available.

by cEvin Keysupported by 29 fans who also own “1983-86 - Hit The Pulse to Purge…”
So happy I bought the vinyl, fantastic collection of Cevin's early music. Recommended if you're into Skinny Puppy or if you're a fan of early EBM, industrial or noisey beats! :)

The original Skinny Puppy BRAP CD with Jackhammer and Yo Yo Scrape was some of my favorite of all their output. This Brap and Forth from cEvin fills a similar place in my heart.

Astral Elevator
by The Tear Gardensupported by 26 fans who also own “1983-86 - Hit The Pulse to Purge…”
The Tear Garden remains a staple of underground electro-industrial psychedelic magicianry with an album that simultaneously picks up where they left off, slides backwards into fan-favored dissonant instrumentation, and breaks a little new breakdown ground as well.
