Six Six Sixties

Out 14 2009, 1h37

Here's three groups that avoid structure and niceties almost entirely and dish out something pretty wrenching in the process. Using raw sound as a tool, they make some of the most visceral, and intelligent, music around. They may use tapes, synthesizers, treated guitars etc. but they are definitely not cool, removed or "modern" (qualities unfortunately linked to the above tools due to the regrettable posings of a few overly made up robotic prigs). You might call them expressionist, but that would be too personal. I think they pull back a scab covering a common malaise and make music out of it.

Throbbing Gristle's Greatest Hits is a sampler culled from their previous releases (voluminous), and includes such memorable ditties as "TocarHamburger Lady", "TocarSubhuman", TocarSix Six Sixties", and "tiaB gulS" (Slug Bait). Thoroughly uncompromising, TG never fail to expose a buried nerve. Variously trance-like, atmospheric, and abrasive, each piece of music is a unique chunk of psychic disarray. This is the music you'll hear as you prowl the sewers looking for food, or fuck in the sludge as the radiation settles aboveground. Their decision (if there really is a choice) to deal with the "darker" side of things is not necessarily negative. Listening to TG, you get the feeling that it's realistic.

    Is this one of those "look at this moron" things? Because as an introduction to people who know nothing about industrial music (e.g. most of MG's fanbase) that seems fine to me.

    The first time I read that I was all "oh yeah eh", then one day I pictured him actually spreading the buttcheeks and yelling AAAH into the butthole and ended up rolling on the floor laughing.
