ES7119 Reader Offer | Throbbing Gristle

With a new boxset in the shops any day now, this month's Electronic Sound cover stars are the magnificent Throbbing Gristle. Genesis P-Orridge, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Chris Carter and Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson ripped up all the rules, both sonically and visually, both as a live act and a recording unit. There's never been another group like TG.  

We have an awesome Throbbing Gristle seven-inch to accompany the magazine. Pressed on glorious red vinyl, neither of these tracks has been released before. The weighty and eerie 'Wotwududo', which features a hypnotic vocal performance by Genesis P-Orridge, is from one of the band's very last studio sessions, while 'Trumpet Herald' is a potent and inventive live piece built around Cosey Fanni Tutti's cornet work. The tracks were recorded in late 2005 and early 2006, during a trip to play two shows in Berlin on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.    

"Everything we did in TG had to be of the moment," says Cosey. "And if the moment wasn’t right, then it wasn’t going to work. So you just had to be patient. Wonderful things come from being patient."

As with all our music releases, this record is strictly limited and only available to readers of Electronic Sound, so be sure to order your copy right away.
