what no Throbbing Gristle (and Carter/Cosey, Psychic TV etc)?

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

Lobbed these into the forum search thingy and,,,,,,,what no Throbbing Gristle?

 

Chris Carter is a fuckin genius, pretty much pioneered certain sampling techniques & Peter Christopherson is a god imho for being part of Coil.

 

Equally, although i think the whole TOPY plot was taking things a wee bit too far in the esoterrorism realm, Genesis PO did some incredible music with Psychic TV. Temple Records pioneered British Acid-House, the Fred Gianelli gear has stood the test of time.....and i dont think you'd even have acts likes Autechre w/out this cluster of fore-runners.

 

What floats yer boat? Is it the tunes, the ideas, the occultism?

An anecdote - stuck in fuckin Southmead trauma unit recently gave Hamburger Lady a whole other level of head-fuck.......

No worries - your thread did spawn some new discussion about TG, so it's all good.

manners aren't dead, Sir!

 

i've rinsed the Wiiliam Burroughs/Nothing Here But the Recordings release on Industrial over the years, a best-case example of retro-futurism:

I think a lot of the WATMm commumity could really benefit right now from a message from the Temple.

yes, psychic tv was awesome but their discography is a bit spotty. throbbling gristle is mostly one banger after the next. how about john zewizz and sleepchamber?

thankyou for posting this.

 

 

Fred Giannelli has made some amazing stuff. I met him once at River Gods in Cambridge, Ma.

 

My friend who introduced me said, "Just don't ask him about Psychic TV and everything will be fine."

 

But I had forgotten that I had taken a sample of a wolf howl off of a PTV album, so after we had played he said,

"Hey, did you get that wolf off of 'Electric Newspaper'?"

He was nice about it.

cheers ears, good find, and now the drums have kicked in too lol, grrrrrrrrroover,,,,,,

 

never get bored of Chris & Cosey's Pagan Tango & Exotica.....Andrew Weatherall caned a version of October Love Song for years that is pure unadulterated joy. Theres a gem of a Cosey interview on RBMA somewhere too. When i 1st heard the term witch house i thought how can something like this be bettered:

 

 

this is what i love about culture, how a writer like WB or Brion Gysin can feed into something like TG, which feeds into C&C/CTI, Psychic TV, acid house and the best electronica in the form of Coil.

Edited by cwmbrancity

in the early 90's i went over to a friend's house with a bunch of blank tapes.

i made a tape that had "Love's Secret Domain" on one side and "Towards Thee Infinite Beat" on the other side.

 

Then i bought "Peak Hour" in '94.

The first album I bought off of the Silent Records label was PTV's "Kondole".

 

i like the "Live In Thee East Village" LP, the one that has the Jajouka music on it.

What can I say? Big fan of all mentioned artists in here, recently found Psychic TV's Themes II and Dreams Less Sweet on vinyl (mint) in a second hand shop :) looking forward to Chris & Cosey's upcoming album too, Coolicon was lovely. Too bad I missed them a couple of months ago in Amsterdam, I really want to catch them live!

Doesn't suprise me people had to be warned not to talk about PTV around him.

I'll just flatout say it: Fred Gianelli is probably the most butthurt sad angry old man who never got over the period that gave him his fame. I was a member of a facebook page he ran (or still runs, I see now) that was about those who 'survived' to life with Genesis. Basically, it was him posting stuff about pandas and Courtney Love three times a day. He is completely obsessed with Gen to a really unhealthy degree for so long now. A lot of cool Psychic TV videos were uploaded by him too (as dangerfellini), just so he can rant about Gen in the comments...

Finally when he blamed Gen of being a pedophile, I left the group and left Fred a message about it. He apologized and removed the message. The guy has issues.

Right, this reminds me to add a disclaimer to my above post: I'm not defending Genesis in any way :)
