Gina X Performance was formed in Cologne in 1978 when art history student and chanteuse Gina Kikoine teamed up with synth wizard Zeus B. Held. Inspired by Patti Smith and Lou Reed, Kikoine aimed to create \"the absolute union of music, poetry and travesty,\" a lofty goal that she most certainly would achieve. 1979 saw the release of the classic first LP, \u003cem\u003eNice Mover\u003c\/em\u003e, which put Held’s lush electronic production in dialogue with Gina X’s deadpan delivery. Songs explore androgyny, decadence, and avant-garde art in a fashion that is stylish, sexy, and more than a touch transgressive. \u003cem\u003eNice Mover\u003c\/em\u003e quickly became a cult favorite thanks to tracks like the euphoric “Nice Mover” and the dancefloor bomb “No G.D.M.”, dedicated to queer icon Quentin Crisp. Three more LPs followed in the coming years: \u003cem\u003eX-Traordinaire\u003c\/em\u003e in 1980; \u003cem\u003eVoyeur\u003c\/em\u003e in 1981; and \u003cem\u003eYinglish\u003c\/em\u003e in 1984. The duo continued their genre deviance throughout, exploring uptempo space disco on “Strip Tease,” punk-laced New Wave on “Babylon Generation,” and icy electro-pop on “French Lift.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eGreatest Fits\u003c\/em\u003e is the first-ever double LP compilation of Gina X material. The 17 tracks on \u003cem\u003eGreatest Fits\u003c\/em\u003e were selected by Kikoine and Held, reflecting the duo’s most cherished moments from their wide-ranging catalog. The record comes housed in a gatefold sleeve designed by Eloise Shir-Juen Leigh featuring press clippings and photographs, and includes an insert with lyrics and memories about each song from Kikoine and Held.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dark Entries","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":51770820362571,"sku":"R4564-5630","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/625b7fc6-fe9e-e533-7bdb-23d3eccc7410.jpg?v=1746455070"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/gina-x.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
