Throbbing Gristle Essentials

Throbbing Gristle Essentials

That grotesque name may be a convenient calling card for this subversive ensemble, but it only tells half the story. For all their most abrasive moments, Throbbing Gristle were regularly capable of pristine beauty, often built on compelling rhythms and lush synth meditations. Their first incarnation yielded the slyly titled 1979 classic, 20 Jazz Funk Greats, while subsequent works centre on the evolving collaboration between Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti. The industrial pioneers excel at both soundtrack-style atmosphere and hypnotic, multi-level journeys through sound and space.
