throbbing gristle

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

is anyone out there familiar with throbbing gristle? i came across them only recently and they attracted my interst. i would aprreciate if anybody could give some recommendation for an album or whatever to listen to. anyhow, after listening to a few tracks from one of their last shows it seems that a good mental condition might be favourable when listening to them ;-).

portugal (is going to win tonight).
cheers, j.

No it's not. It's a darwinian thing. Just like the Portuguese all have greasy hair (exhibit A: The Portuguese football team); so the Portuguese will occasionally come across throbbing gristle (exhibit B: Post above).

But commendable shout all the same, SG.

Throbbing Gristle's Greatest Hits is the only album I have, tho' it does have the sublime 'Hamburger Lady' on it. My mate Scottish Mick from Prolapse likes 20 Jazz Funk Greats the best (as do most people who are 'into them')

If you still have a turntable, pop into your nearest DIY and buy a few pads for an orbital sander, stick them on your t/t and play. Throbbing Gristle at a fraction of the cost.

Glad to be of help :innocent:

gotta agree with 20 Jazz Funk Greats...

but if you still can't get enough then search out extreemly early Virgin Prunes (pre If I Die...but i can not remember the damn name now)...Caberet Voltaire (from 79-80 i think) Nag Nag Nag and then for more mellow moments...Psychic TV

TG's polemic was on target dok w.
Fact was they were the sound of white and red noise. GPO was not born to be a vocalist and he couldn't even master the electric bass guitar.

As to the 'Prole Art Threat' he became... go Google.

an awful waste of camoflage
