The project of Jordi Valls. He is one of the most daring, provocative, surrealistic and violent in the field of art and experimental Catalan and international music. He settled in London at the end of the 70's, Valls will create Vagina Dentata Organ in 1982 and was surrounded by some of the most important names in the British industrial experimentation of those years, such as Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, Whitehouse, Konstruktivists o Nurse with Wound. We feel his discs edited with his own label World Satanic Network System (WSNS) as "Music For The Hashasins" (1983), with recordings of looser cats, "The Last Supper" (1984), with electronic sounds and the Reverend Jim Jones, "The Pagan Drums of Calanda" (1984), with the timbals of Calanda, and "Cold Meat" (1986), with sounds of orgasms treated electronically. We select two contributions from the industrial music compilations "Ohrenschrauben" (1985) and "NKVD Compilation" (1989) and we also feel two of the essential works of the surrealism of this project such as the Harley-Davidson sounds of "Un Chien Catalan" (1994) and the bells in tribute to Dalí of "The Great Masturbator" (2004). We finish with two collaborations of Valls 1982: "Catalan" with the Psychic TV i el "Psychopathia Sexualis" dels sorollosos Whitehouse.
