no that would be more like Whitehouse and Sutcliffe Jungend or even Genocide Organ.....there is quite a bit of structure and thought behind Throbbing Gristle's music....but you have to have a taste for it....some do and some don't....i honestly don't think there are many people who are like "they're ok"....it seems to me its either you like it or you think it's garbage

At any rate, none of the Throbbing Gristle I've ever heard sounds like random computer bleeping. |

Throbbing Gristle's music is in no way completely "random" or "structureless" as there is almost always a constant beat amongst the spoken word lyrics and the improvised noise even when it comes to their most minimalistic compositions. I do realize that they spent most of their time acutally building equipment and messing about occasionally recording a unique sound or two as they've stated in interviews. I thought at first I wouldn't geniunly enjoy any of their albums because of their challenging nature, but I had gotten past it and found some very catchy and intruiqing songs on "20 Jazz Funk Greats" and "d.o.a. the third and final report". |
Hamburger Lady is by far the best throbbing gristle track, so eerie and creepy. Way ahead of it's time! The Third and Final Report is their best album.
Does anyone own 'the third mind movements'? I would love the hear that! |
