Product Info
"The four members of Throbbing Gristle wanted to investigate to what extent you could mutate and collage sound, present complex non entertaining noises to a popular culture situation and convince and convert."
--Genesis P-Orridge, from Thee Industrial Records Story
One of the most intelligently transgressive agitprop noise troupes ever to decimate homemade synthesizers and mundane rock 'n' roll tropes, Throbbing Gristle's distinct factory-fuck sounds are as abrasively fresh today as when the quartet initiated its mission in 1975. Discontent with ho-hum frameworks and facile reactionary accouterments, Throbbing Gristle set out to subvert standard musical performance, and in the process, lived up to their infamous parliamentary epithet of "wreckers of civilization."
