Remastered edition of Throbbing Gristle's best known and most suavely subversive LP, the one
that completely exploded and re-defined the meaning of industrial music. Referencing the
band's influences outside of the avant-garde - among them ABBA and Martin Denny - it's the
most
outwardly accessible thing they ever recorded, but it's not without its harder, grimier
moments, like the pummelling 'Discipline', with P.Orridge barking orders at you like the SM
drill sergeant of your nightmares. The shorter instrumentals are especially satisfying: we
open with the droning, dysphoric ambience of 'Beachy Head' (think Eno's On Land via
Lustmord), a paean to the suicide hot-spot that appears on the album's cover, while 'Tanith'
and 'Exotica' sound like a seriously strung-out, sleep-deprived jazz ensemble channelling
Aphex's Selected Ambient Works II. Of course it's the "pop" numbers which stand out: Gen has
never sounded so drolly superior as on 'Convincing People' and 'Persuasion', while the
Cosey-vocalled, Carter-helmed 'Hot On The Heels Of Love' remains an absolute game-changing
masterpiece, its influence on techno, disco and electro-pop as profound and palpable today
as it ever was. Stop listening to what you're listening to, and listen to 20 Jazz Funk
Greats instead.
