PTV can not be seen as regular band/group but more as a collective of musicans, artists, painters and others that made their contribution under the PTV umbrella. PTV had for many years their own record label Temple where they released music by PTV as well as Dave Ball (ex Soft Cell) and others. In many ways PTV followed in the same lane as Throbbing Gristle did, but did it into something more. The first years of PTV the music was experimental and sometimes noise. Later they changed their musical direction into electronica as well as techno.
Psychic TV is also responsible in part for the popularity of the acid house movement. Some will even argue that they played a huge part in starting the movement.

Psychic TV Lyrics

Yes - Hello
Look at that picture

Is it persisting?
Yes
Thank you
The lyrics of "Bliss" by Psychic TV are quite cryptic and open to interpretation. The song starts with someone saying "Hello" followed by the command to "look at that picture." The line "Is it persisting?" suggests that there is something about the picture that is not temporary or fleeting. The use of the word "persisting" implies that there is some deeper meaning to the image, something that is being conveyed and that requires further examination.
The final "yes" in response to the persistent nature of the picture could be interpreted as a confirmation of some realization or enlightenment. The phrase "thank you" at the end of the lyrics suggests that the realization was a positive one, something that brought a feeling of contentment or happiness. Overall, the song seems to focus on the idea of finding bliss in unexpected places, and the importance of being open to new experiences and perspectives.
