Throbbing Gristle
Throbbing Gristle is, in every sense of the word, the seminal industrial band, whose confrontational performance tactics, nihilistic lyrics, and audio sampling techniques foreshadowed acts, despite their repeated assertions that they were not really meant to be a band at all.

Decoder - The Soundtrack
A cult classic of sci-fi dystopia, Decoder saw Neubauten’s members working alongside Genesis P-Orridge and William S. Burroughs. It’s one of the strangest (and most prescient) films of the decade
The Taste Of TG (A Beginner’s Guide To The Music Of Throbbing Gristle)
The Taste Of TG is a great entry point for anyone curious about the weird world of Throbbing Gristle, the Hull, UK four-piece who released only a handful of albums between 1977 and 1979 before splintering into equally-influential groups Psychic TV, Chris & Cosey and Coil. Their confrontational disposition and early tinkering with synthesizers, harsh noise and drum machines has attracted labels like “creators of industrial music” (likely more to do with their in-house recording imprint being call…
Journey Through A Body
Recorded as a piece of art for Italian National Radio RAI in Rome March 1981. On the recommendation of Robert Wyatt, RAI originally commissioned Cosey Fanni Tutti to create a sound work based on the theme of ‘A Journey Through The Body’. It became a Throbbing Gristle project which was later broadcast by RAI. This was the last studio recording by Throbbing Gristle. It was recorded in five days, a day per body section. No tracks were re-recorded or added to after their day. Each track was mixed im…
Muzik Fantastique!
First released in 1992, Chris & Cosey's hyper melodic, electro-tinged 'Musik Fantastique!' is finally released on vinyl for the first time as part of the duo's remastered limited edition vinyl series.
Elemental 7
"Elemental 7 has cast a looming shadow of influence over almost all electronic music since it was made. Elemental 7 is the soundtrack to the film of the same name (on Cabaret Voltaire’s Doublevision video imprint) that saw the duo working once more with John Lacey – Lacey had previously worked with Cosey in COUM Transmissions and introduced Chris Carter to the collective. The album’s highlight and one of their best loved songs, ‘Dancing Ghosts’, sounds as fresh and relevant today as it must have…
Feral Vapours Of The Silver Ether
Maiden vinyl edition of Chris Carter & Cosey Fanni Tutti’s 4th world ambient trek pairing wistfully romantic cornet and vocals with lush, oil-colour pastoral electronics.
The Art Of Mirrors (Homage To Derek Jarman)
Longtime sold out at source, lucky restock. Limited 500 Copies, White/Black Splash Vinyl Packaged In Gatefold Cover. Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson was a musical legend, one of the original members of Throbbing Gristle and an innovative musician in his own right. This live recording is an homage to the short film by Derek Jarman: The Art of Mirrors. Recorded before the end of Coil in 2004 and captured here on cd.
"This ‘Homage to Derek Jarman’ is really a triple homage in itself. Obviously a ceme…
Dream Less Suite
Tip! Genesis P-Orridge and The Hafler Trio: do these 2 legends still need any introduction? Genesis P-Orridge was the founding person of COUM Transmissions in 1969, Throbbing Gristle in 1975, Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth and Psychic TV in 1981. Andrew McKenzie started The Hafler Trio (together with Cabaret Voltaire's Chris Watson) in 1982 and since then released all his work under this moniker and collaborated with William S. Burroughs, Autechre, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Nurse With Wound and Jónsi fr…

Issued in a 6-panel Digisleeve with a sticker on the shrinkwrap Throbbing Gristle announce the next phase of their reissues series with the release of ‘Part Two: The Endless Not’ / ‘TG Now’ and ‘A Souvenir Of Camber Sands’. In 2004 Chris Carter, Peter Christopherson, Genesis P- Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti reformed - 23 years after their mission was originally terminated - and between 2004 and 2007 the band released 14 new studio tracks and a live album of their appearance at ATP’s Nightmare B…
Exotika
Vital reissue of Chris & Cosey's fourth album proper, 'Exotica', fully remastered by Chris Carter. Originally released in 1987 and pretty much unavailable on vinyl ever since, 'Exotica' sees a slight shift into more club-friendly EBM/Electro, especially with the definitively anthemic title track which has since become the duo's calling card as much as anything else they've released.
In the likes of 'Dancing On Your Grave' or the flashy machine funk of 'Beatbeatbeat' we can also hear clear preced…
Throbbing Gristle’s Greatest Hits
It's impossible to deny Throbbing Gristle's working methods and innovation are so deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness of... everything. TG's subversive dismantling of the apparatus of social control casts such a long shadow, and as impossible as it may seem, this collection actually provides an exceptional summation of their best work. The first real industrial group, the founders of Industrial Records and one of the most important electronic music innovators of all time, TG redefin…

Mission Of Dead Souls
*CD Digipack* The final performance of Throbbing Gristle before their initial breakup, at the Kezar Pavillion, San Francisco on 29 May 1981. ‘Mission of Dead Souls’ documents the notorious final performance of Throbbing Gristle in their original incarnation (1975-1981).

Heathen Earth
** 2CD card pack with 8 page booklet** A live document of a performance by TG to a small and invited audience on 16 February 1980. Neither an insight into TG’s recording process nor private live show, Heathen Earth is it’s own entity and exists as a document and testament to a group of people at the height of their creative powers, recorded just over a year before they disbanded and terminated the mission. Live performance brought out Throbbing Gristle's talents for improvisation and provocation…
20 Jazz Funk Greats
**Double CD. Remastered edition of Throbbing Gristle's best known and most suavely subversive LP, the one that completely re-defined the meaning of industrial music. ** Originally released in 1979, 20 Jazz Funk Greats is Throbbing Gristle's pop-influenced masterwork. It's hard to believe the beautiful, conventionally-attractive Cosey Fanni Tutti on this album's front cover previously gave herself milk and blood enemas in front of a live audience. Additionally, the song "Hot On The Heels Of Love"…
