today's chillout music (151)

throbbing gristle / "...can the world be as sad as it seems?"

All of the “proper” TG LPs are great, but this one is the most focussed in my humble opinion. Which is odd, because it’s a strange beast – a “live” album that was recorded in front of a small invited audience at TG’s studios in Hackney (which I take to mean “The Death Factory” at 10 Martello Street E8).

Those who were present are listed on the back of the album sleeve and are a veritable “who’s who” of the end of TG and beginning of the next stage – a transition.
