Reviews & Discussion
The man standing behind it all. Possessed by vision. Leading his own path. Innovative. Creative. Brilliant.
Musical Prometheus. A demon. A genius.
Active since his first works with Throbbing Gristle in late 70s, through contributions to such bands as Psychic TV, Zos Kia, Murderwerks and finally Coil, till this day creates magical visions which can only be admired by the others. One of this few unique ones who gets better and better in music with time.

"We are greatly saddened to have to you that at about 5.30 pm Saturday Nov 13th, Jhonn Balance, was killed in an accident at home. Under the influence of alcohol he fell from the first floor landing, hitting his head on the floor some 15ft below. Peter/Sleazy who was in the front room heard the noise, came out investigate and found him unconscious, though still breathing. Balance was rushed to hospital, where his condition deteriorated, and he died soon after, without ever regaining consciousness. There is no suggestion that this event was in any way deliberate, in fact, anything other than a tragic accident. Unusually, Balance had been cheerfull during the day, and was looking forward to seeing Ian at the weekend, and working on new recordings this week."
