Does anyone else here listen to them? I've been getting back into 20 Jazz Funk Greats lately. For those who don't know, TG was an industrial band in the late 70s and early 80s who made dark music with underlying sadistic satire and psychotic noise, with a bit of ambience here and there. Unique stuff. Zyclon! Zyclon! BEEEEEEEEEEEE ZOMBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!! |

i was really really into them a while back... shit like psychic tv, genesis p orridge... very unique and really shaped my musical background. |

genesis p orridge was the leader singer of throbbing gristle, and later went on to found psychic TV after throbbing gristle split. the remains of TG would go to form chris and cosey. |

Throbbing Gristle is beyond great. And they aren't "an industrial group" they are THE industrial group. They started it all. |
||||||||

i remember seeing genesis in TO, doing this abstract play of sorts... definately an eccentric man. |

well put sir!!!!!!!!!! :D |

yes and pete christopherson met john balance whilst both of them were in psychic tv and formed coil. psychic tv or rather geniisi also formed a cult called tempe of psychic youth and they recorded some really early british acid house stuff - some of which is pretty good but most of which is bad |

not much of psychic tv is fantastic now that i think of it, but when they're good, they're really fucking good. |

I have neverr hearrd TG but have been meaning to. Some 24 hourrs long set of disks came out rright? A live ones... |
||||||||

throbbing gristle has quite a bit of material out - most record stores don't stock it too often, not here in the States anyway, but it shouldn't be tough to order. I think Mute is distributing most of their stuff now.... I'd start with 20 Jazz Funk Greats, and the First and Second Annual Reports of Throbbing Gristle. |

wow... I thought throbbing gristle disbanded and formed kmfdm and my life with the thrill kill cult a long time ago |

Im a fan. There live shows were amazing, they were using samplers before they were invented, - theres a good live 12" called "Funeral In Berlin"..i think you can download it, and it has a good version of 'Aushwitz' on it. Whats Genesis doing now?..last i heard he was working with Merzbow and had a sex change. |
||||||||

I don't know... that's a good question. i heard he was kicked out of the UK for broadcasting gay porn on a BBC broadcast..... hmmm... |

you're thinking of skinny puppy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It wasn't..he was exiled becuase of some Pychic Tv spot about child abuse..and they took it out of context..and that as years ago. |
||||||||

oh i see.... some guy was telling me something else. I'd rather take YOUR word for it though. ;-) |

throbbing gristle are indeed excellent, i kind of want the 24 box set but i dunno a bit of a hefty price, i think ill just stick to the annual reports and their other material. |

I learned about these bands in reverse order. First Coil, then Psychic TV and then Throbbing Gristle. If you're into it I highly recommend Psychic TV's "Dreams Less Sweet". I must get some Chris and Cosey some day as well. Any recommendations? |
||||||||

|
the chris & cosey remix album called Twist is my fave. Includes remixes by µ-iq, tusken raiders, coil vs elph, vapourspace + more |
