 Hellenistic Astrology [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
While Plato himself would never place the heavenly gods in direct control of a person's destiny, the distinction between the fatalism of such a control measured by astrology and an astral piety that permitted some intervention of gods in human affairs was not sharply drawn.
Perhaps what they were seeking in the horoscope was one of the "young gods" whose task it was to fashion the mortal body of each soul and to steer their course away from evils.
His complex hierarchy of beings, including celestial gods, visible gods, angels and daimons, justifies a practice of theurgy in which each of these beings is sacrificed and prayed to appropriately, in a manner pleasing to and in sympathy with their individual natures.

 THE YOUNG GODS - XXY (Twenty Years 1985-2005)
Formed in Switzerland, 1985, The Young Gods slowly but surely crept into the public psyche through their infusion of hard rock and electronics, perhaps peaking in 2000 with the bruising single, Lucidogen, which fused contemporary rock and technology with a renewed and unique vigour.
Yet, The Young Gods career has been a long one, and XXY plots their various mutations well, right from the off-the-wall sample-emblazoned Did You Miss Me, Fasi La Moutte and Envoye (1987), to the more industrial-sounding gritty theatrics of Pas Mal, and the bizarre Parisian, accordion-led, Charlotte (1989).
There’s even a glimpse of some brand new material, on the previously unreleased opener Secret, where The Young Gods prove that they’ve lost none of their verve, as they continue to embrace technology far more efficiently and experimentally than most rock bands are normally willing to do.

From the very beginning, however, the Young Gods have rocked their technology every bit as hard as Public Enemy did theirs.
Although the Young Gods owe more than just their name to Swans, the trio has used the influence to its own ends, sharing only some sturm und drang samples and a flair for the melodramatic.
T.V. Sky, the first Young Gods album to be sung entirely in English, dispenses with the orchestras, showing a tasteful dance influx (the grinding "Skinflowers") and even further refined riff technology.

 DVD Talk Review: Young Gods   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Young Gods is an engaging and effective Finnish movie about the hard lessons learned by a group of young men.
The film has a salacious tag line; it is about a group of young men who decide to videotape their various sexual encounters with women and then show them off to one another.
Young Gods is a very well directed, written and acted Finnish film about teen boys who go too far video taping their sexual exploits.

 DVD Verdict Review - Young Gods
The Finnish import Young Gods (or Hymypoika) is a confusing film, because you're not entirely certain what it's trying to do.
In some ways I did enjoy Young Gods, for the style and feel of the film is different from American fare.
They look so young; they don't look 18, and they certainly don't look old enough for the abundance of full frontal nudity in Young Gods, both male and female—though there's a lot more of the former than the latter.

 Interview: Franz Treichler of The Young Gods - Art and Culture Articles
Twenty years ago, The Young Gods leaned into the live use of samplers with the passion of punk, the finesse of 19th- and 20th-century composition and the rocking dynamics of industrial music.
The Young Gods' use of live drumming, live vocals and live real-time stage electronics stands out as a stark contrast to electronica's frequent addiction to autopilot.
The Young Gods appeared in Prague prior to the 1989 Velvet Revolution and Prague continues to be one of their favorite destinations.

From their early mixes of new wave, to Stooges-like powertrip rock, and electronic ambiance (furiously captured on their '87 first LP), The Young Gods have covered a large scale of yesterday and today's music.
With six albums to date, The Young Gods have created a magical universe of sound, landscapes and emotions attracting a huge and eclectic following who are still surprised by the many different aspects of their music.
The Young Gods soon recruited another long time friend Bernard Trontin to join them on their journey.

For this performance, The Young Gods are in small formation (computer, sampler and percussion), as they mix excerpts from their ambient album « Music For Artificial Clouds » with sounds recorded in the Amazon: a live work of electronic improvisation.

 Splendid Magazine reviews The Young Gods: Second Nature
The Young Gods were early adopters of the whole sampling-and-looping methodology, and while they're no longer dealing with crispy eight-bit guitar-riff samples, the core of their approach -- music as unstoppable sonic juggernaut -- has remained intact as technology has evolved around them.
Their compositions, once spartan, are now multilayered, smooth and sinuous; they've assimilated the fizzles, bleeps and blaps of IDM the way a comet picks up space debris, and it all sounds perfectly natural.
Second Nature's calm, hallucinogenic darkness is just the sort of soundtrack the twenty-first century needs, and will win the Young Gods many new fans, but it's basically a highly-polished update of their past commercial successes.

 The Young Gods: Second Nature - PopMatters Music Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Luckily, to my tired industrial ear, the Young Gods expand the genre's close minded parameters into realms of dark ambience, electro-pop and stringent guitar lashings.
The Young Gods, although not the savior the genre needs them to be, are infusing the grind of industrial with the lucidity of the synth and the darkness of electro with surprising precision and fluidity.
However, what the Young Gods lack is the writhing life and daring nature to exude ambient music and twist it into a compelling state on such tracks as "In the Otherland" and "Toi du Monde".

 YOUNG GODS and SKINFLICK
While we were there MWJ (Skinflick’s Bass Player) mentioned how Skinflick had applied to be the support band for The Young Gods Liverpool date on their tour (The Young Gods being One of Sync’s all-time favourite bands and influences), but they hadn’t heard back from them, so didn’t think they’d get it.
After our refreshments, we got back to the venue to find The Young Gods had arrived and were setting up their equipment ready to sound check on stage.
After their performance, Skinflick and the crew met in the bar to reflect on the gig, and to be interviewed by Rowley from The Darkcompass Podcast, who’d also recorded their gig tonight on his laptop, which I think may be available from www.darkcompass.com very soon.

 The Young Gods at La Cigale, Paris, 1995!
Swiss cyber trio The Young Gods kicked off their Euro/world tour at a packed Cigale in Paris, just a few days ahead of the release of their new album, Only Heaven.
The early-Floyd angle is especially pertinent in the Young Gods masterful handling of quiet space and ambience, both on the album and in concert.
In all honesty, I have to say that therein lies the one weakness of a Young Gods' live performance: almost by definition, a trap drummer and a keyboardist do not "move" much on stage, so one cannot help a feeling of stasis to overcome the proceedings.

 Review: Young Gods, Only Heaven - Reto Koradi
Even from their great first single "Envoye" in '86 and the first, untitled album in '87, the Young Gods from Switzerland had ecstatic reviews ("the future of rock music") all over.
Vocals, drums and samplers was always the whole lineup of the Gods, certainly most unusual for a rock band; they were the first to build up their music completely on samplers.
While the music of the Gods was always highly interesting, it was challenging at the same time, the huge wall of guitar samples and industrial noise made them an acquired taste.

A band that comes to mind (and no, not only because of the label name) is the Swiss combo Young Gods -- specifically their album of Kurt Weill re-interpretations.
There is also some of the same insistent, percussive repetition of themes that the Gods practiced on their albums, such as on track 5.
If you are a fan of the Swans, GSYBE, Young Gods or the Ilk, and you'd like to hear what those bands would sound like softened at the edges and slowed down to a steady pace, this may be for you.

 Amazon.com: Young GODS and Friends: Books: Barry Windsor-Smith   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Beginning with Young GODS & Friends in 2003, Fantagraphics is collecting each of BWS:STORYTELLER's titles into separate full-color editions including all of the stories published in issues 1 through 9, and, in the case of Young GODS & Friends, many never-before-published pages, plus background information and behind-the-scenes art.
As he announces near the end of Chapter 1, she is back among the gods because "My sister's getting hitched to some schmuck named Prince Hero." Actually, it is Prince Heros, and there begins the tale.
Of course, after reading this you have to wonder if companion volumes for "The Freebooters" and "The Paradoxman." Be aware that "Young GODS and Friends" is oversized, so the reproduced pages are the same size as "BWS: Storyteller," the difference being that this is a hardcover collection.

Now celebrating their fifteenth anniversary, The Young Gods' new album, Second Nature, is their first for five years.

This fifth proper studio LP release has a much more electronic and less heavy feel to it although it still somehow manages to capture The Young Gods sound and is as excellent as ever.

 Rambles: Young Gods & Friends   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
My evaluation of the re-release of Barry Windsor-Smith's Young Gods is as confused and directionless as was the original comic book series.
In particular, Young Gods is a particle of Kirby's Thor (from Marvel Comics) and New Gods (from DC Comics).
As an artist, Windsor-Smith's style is inherently different from Kirby's and, admitting that art preference is subjective, simply outstrips the former "King of Comics." Both have their own internal logic, but Windsor-Smith is better at anatomy and his characters don't assume melodramatic, stiff poses like Kirby's.

The music itself is pretty heavy going on the whole, containing elements of heavy metal, techno, punk goth and ambient in a swirling mass of mind bending sound.
If you are a fan of the genre then no doubt you will know more than I about the Young Gods, but if you are not you still may regret not being brave enough to delve into their world.
Granted, there are a number of aspects that may potentially put a lot of listeners off – the style of the vocals is usually pretty annoying – a deep Germanic voice talking French/nonsense in an utterly unmelodic manner is the order of the day – totally Hasselhoff.
