Luis Mejia (son) - unexplaining every irregularity, that's Throbbing Gristle style. Tell the legend that Genesis P-Orridge was told by his mother why he had never done anything nice, and so, he came up with the idea of a farse of an album, by calling with a pretty name and go out dressed as good, catholic boys, but, have you seen where they are standing? England's favourite suicide spot! and the back cover appears the same just with a dead man on front of them... Anyways, for new listeners this is not jazz funk, it is the most aggressive, abbrassive and avant-garde side of experimental music, which blends to industrial.

By terms of rhythm, this could be the most "funk" of their albums, but it is as flawless as accessible, perfect fragments of tape loop music, synthesized activity, complete unawareness of the music purpose, or the experience, and doom-end atmospheres. By the special means of the album, "Perssuasion" is the core of the so can I call "pop" side of rhythm in the album, and "Discipline (Berlin)" isso abrasive and direct it makes Pink Floyd look as school lovers, by repeating discipline and discipline each time and over, it truly reflects what discipline means. By any moment, this is far end experimental avant garde, just for experienced listeners, but very distinctive by the time of its realese.

This is Industrial Music, pure and simple. This is what people generally think of when they refer to Throbbing Gristle. The misleading cover, the Martin Denny references, the conflict between beauty, ugliness, decay, and free construction. It's as good as it gets.

Start here and continue your Throbbing Gristle habit with 2nd Annual Report, and one of the live disks, I'd recommend Mission of Dead Souls, but Heathen Earth is good as well.

Of TGs works, this is easily one of a select few that really feels like an album of music, rather than something you have to strap yourself in for. It's far more polished than their earlier albums. While not representative of their more nightmarish soundscapes from earlier years, it's something you can casually throw on and enjoy without having to commit yourself to the "experience" of something such as Second Annual Report or CD1, and unlike D.O.A, none of the tracks really feel like throwaways.

I'm not sure whether I like or dislike this...the music is incredibly strange, it makes no sense really. Not what I expected from a band in the industrial genre. The album goes from sounding like 70's psychadelic ambient to on the verge of unlistenable noise on the last two (live?) tracks. "we need discepline in here!!" ...What the hell?

If you're into strange stuff, or the 'avant garde', give them a try.

you can't go wrong with this album...very accessible, good place to start if you're new to Throbbing Gristle.

Mainstream music has nothing to offer. Listen to Throbbing Gristle.
