From the group's inception in the mid-'70s onward, the New York-based Controlled Bleeding remained one of the most prolific and unpredictable American industrial bands, exploring the extremes of both unchecked sonic fury and free-floating ambient dub.
Led by singer and multi-instrumentalist Paul Lemos, a high-school English teacher by day, Controlled Bleeding released their debut EP, Wall Of China Love Letter, in 1979; a series of abrasive cassettes followed before the group issued its first full-length effort, Knees And Bones, in 1983.
Following the typically aggressive Body Samples in 1984, the 1985 release Between Tides found the group (consisting of Lemos, drummer Joe Papa and keyboardist Chris Moriarty) branching out into more serene, atmospheric work; the trend continued on Head Crack and Curd (both 1986), and by 1987's Core, the first Controlled Bleeding LP issued in their home country, the music had become virtually instrumental, peppered with jazz and even classical elements.
