Fluorescent Grey

about

(old bio written in 2005) Robbie Martin, also known as fluorescent grey, has had his hand in well-known hoaxes and elaborate pranks, the first of which was a track-by-track response to Coil’s electronic album Scatology. The parody album, released as an internet exclusive in 1998, featured friend and musical collaborator __________ (also known as The Great White Hype) rapping over beats that were entirely based on melodic hooks from popular Coil songs. Following the internet-only release, Coil responded by banning Martin’s IP address, essentially banishing him from visiting their official website, a popular Coil fan site, as well as that of their record label. While Coil may not have enjoyed the parody, many of their fans did and it became a local best-seller at many San Francisco bay area record stores. A follow up record was made called '20 rap house greats', this time an homage to Throbbing Gristle. Chris Carter said he was 'glad to have the piss taken' about it. Intrigued by the rare chemical intoxicants that Coil expressed interest in, Martin found himself experimenting with psychedelic drugs such as Dimethyl-tryptamine, salvia, and other obscure hallucinogens, many of which were still legal in his home state and even readily available on the internet. In 2001 after a prolonged psychedelic binge, Martin had a profound revelation. He became enthralled with the provocative – and no doubt, controversial – hypothesis that ancient Tibetan Buddhist mushroom cults controlle
