ªª▓   roll historians collectors revivalists purists inquisition members puritans bores creeps and   ▓ªª
ªª▓   not forgetting the fussy midgets with obscene hairdos." So wrote Claude Bessy in the liner     ▓ªª
ªª▓   notes to Throbbing Gristle's Greatest Hits, one of the five classic Throbbing Gristle albums   ▓ªª
ªª▓   Industrial Records have just reissued, over 30 years after that pre-emptive fit of snark.      ▓ªª
ªª▓   Throbbing Gristle were never meant to be reliable, but here they come again, ready to be       ▓ªª
ªª▓   harvested by the very culture industry they alternately solicited and spat upon so long ago.   ▓ªª
ªª▓   In their first incarnation as the Death Factory, they were the house band for Coum             ▓ªª
ªª▓   Transmissions, an abject performance-art troupe whose presentation of used tampons, anal       ▓ªª
ªª▓   syringes, and pornography featuring band member Cosey Fanny Tutti in the ICA gallery for       ▓ªª
ªª▓   their "Prostitution" show in 1976 earned them tabloid infamy and denunciations in Parliament   ▓ªª
ªª▓   as "wreckers of civilization." So far, so punk. But the music of the Death Factory, soon       ▓ªª
ªª▓   re-named Throbbing Gristle after a Yorkshire slang term for an erection, was a horse of a      ▓ªª
ªª▓   different color: "industrial music for industrial people," a dystopian, negative form of       ▓ªª
ªª▓   what the band itself called "post-psychedelic trash."                                          ▓ªª
ªª▓   While the rest of the Class of '77 pogoed steadily, Throbbing Gristle blew hot and cold, a     ▓ªª
ªª▓   passive-aggressive tug of war between the sharp and the slimy: The formal elegance of Chris    ▓ªª
ªª▓   Carter's synthesizers are scrawled upon by Genesis P-Orridge's bass riffs and Cosey Fanni      ▓ªª
ªª▓   Tutti's fuzz guitar freakouts, spiced with violin and dubby honks of cornet. This already      ▓ªª
ªª▓   pungent stew is spiked with taped material selected by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson--         ▓ªª
ªª▓   excerpts of everyday intimacy and true crime veritΘ-- and the arsenic tang of Genesis'         ▓ªª
ªª▓   vocals, either sung in a soft sort of sprechstimme or howled into effects. On their debut,     ▓ªª
ªª▓   The Second Annual Report, the music alternately chugged along like a squelchy, crude cop of    ▓ªª
ªª▓   the Velvet Underground, or stretched out into malingering new age, like a syphilitic           ▓ªª
ªª▓   Tangerine Dream. But they got both more virulent and more ambitious with time, upping the      ▓ªª
ªª▓   hostility and dread on D.O.A, taking a kitsch detour toward mutant disco on 20 Jazz Funk       ▓ªª
ªª▓   Greats, auto-cannibalizing their catalog in the live-in-the-studio ritual recording of         ▓ªª
ªª▓   Heathen Earth, and reasserting a strangely forceful collection of avant garde anti-pop for a   ▓ªª
ªª▓   Greatest Hits package revealingly subtitled Entertainment Through Pain, which collates their   ▓ªª
ªª▓   singles output as a quiver of tense stabs at accessibility.                                    ▓ªª
ªª▓   In time for Christmas, a revived Industrial Records has just re-released all five of these     ▓ªª
ªª▓   classic albums, lovingly repackaged in deluxe gatefolded 2xCD editions. In each case, the      ▓ªª
ªª▓   original album is (wisely) preserved intact on one CD, while a second CD collects period       ▓ªª
ªª▓   singles, live performances, and a smattering of alternate mixes and unreleased material.       ▓ªª
ªª▓   Artwork is supplemented with alternate takes from photo-sessions, and it's a jarring           ▓ªª
ªª▓   experience for collector scum like myself to see and hear these goofy blooper reels and        ▓ªª
ªª▓   deleted scenes, in which the avatars of colder-than-thou aesthetics stand on one foot or       ▓ªª
ªª▓   giggle. Savvily recognizing the waning moment of the CD as such, there are vinyl editions of   ▓ªª
ªª▓   the albums too, which faithfully reprint the original artwork at full size and format.         ▓ªª
ªª▓   Given that these albums have stayed continuously in print for years through arrangements       ▓ªª
ªª▓   with Fetish Records, and later Mute, one must ask: Why bother paying attention to these        ▓ªª
ªª▓   reissues? In a triumphant vindication of sound over image, the real motivation for this re-    ▓ªª
ªª▓   presentation of a back catalog is that all five of these five albums have been remastered by   ▓ªª
ªª▓   Chris Carter himself, a labor of obsessive-compulsive love. On the face of it, the idea of     ▓ªª
ªª▓   an "audiophile TG" makes for a jarring proposition: The band always seemed weirdly proud of    ▓ªª
ªª▓   the dismal fidelity of its early recordings, and its stated objective was to be repellent      ▓ªª
ªª▓   and un-assimilable. As an early Coum Transmisions slogan put it, "We Guarantee                 ▓ªª
ªª▓   Disappointment." However off-message, the immersive experience of these new versions redeems   ▓ªª
ªª▓   what might sound gratuitous, or merely greedy, about this gambit. It's the audio equivalent    ▓ªª
ªª▓   of a "director's cut" edition of a beloved series of seedy cult movies, something to file      ▓ªª
ªª▓   between your Kenneth Anger boxset and a Hermann Nitsch coffee-table tome.                      ▓ªª
ªª▓   Assessed as an archival work of restoration, it's a bullseye. Simply put, the heat and noise   ▓ªª
ªª▓   and grit and dirt and gristle is still there, but Chris Carter has finally put meat on the     ▓ªª
ªª▓   bones. There's simply more vitality and physicality to the music, and yet it still sounds      ▓ªª
ªª▓   "very TG": The harsh, brittle, and scalpel-sharp high end is preserved, but the kick drums     ▓ªª
ªª▓   are heavier, the riffs hit harder, and the field recordings now produce a tactile IMAX-        ▓ªª
ªª▓   theater immersion effect. But going beyond these side effects of possibly overheated fanboy    ▓ªª
ªª▓   devotion, the re-introduction of Throbbing Gristle into the cultural bloodstream also offers   ▓ªª
ªª▓   up a temperature-taking opportunity to assess both the entire arc of their career and the      ▓ªª
ªª▓   harder question of whom it might speak to today.                                               ▓ªª
ªª▓                                                                                                  ▓ªª
ªª▓   You could write an entire book about the sly wit and polymorphous slipperiness of 20 Jazz      ▓ªª
ªª▓   Funk Greats, whose kitsch seaside holiday photo on notorious suicide spot Beachy Head tips     ▓ªª
ªª▓   off the viewer to the deliberately fishy insincerity of its sonic contents. In a smash and     ▓ªª
ªª▓   grab that testifies to both increased musical ambition and a relentless urge to wrongfoot      ▓ªª
ªª▓   audience expectations, 20 Jazz Funk Greats finds the band waking up from D.O.A's dark night    ▓ªª
ªª▓   of the soul and feeling curiously frisky. Snacking on not only the titular funk and jazz,      ▓ªª
ªª▓   the band also takes touristic zig zags through exotica, rock, and disco. Like the alien        ▓ªª
ªª▓   mimic in John Carpenter's sci-fi horror film "The Thing", each song seems almost persuasive    ▓ªª
ªª▓   as a stab at these genres, but crucially twists itself out of alignment in a perverse          ▓ªª
ªª▓   reveal.                                                                                        ▓ªª
ªª▓   "Hot on the Heels of Love" is a delirious slice of Moroder-esque boudoir-disco complete with   ▓ªª
ªª▓   breathy vocals from Cosey and, thanks to the remastering, a floor-filling low-end thump. The   ▓ªª
ªª▓   blueprint for 100% Silk's hipster-house shenanigans arguably starts here, with people who      ▓ªª
ªª▓   have no business taking over the dancefloor doing it anyway, with surprisingly solid           ▓ªª
ªª▓   results. An even stronger case for the critical re-thinking that mastering can achieve,        ▓ªª
ªª▓   "Convincing People", which has previously struck me as a less-than-successful stab at a        ▓ªª
ªª▓   cynically collapsed political anthem, now sounds suitably fist-pumping. But the standout       ▓ªª
ªª▓   moment here is still "Persuasion". Handcuffed to a plodding, two-note bass figure, Gen         ▓ªª
ªª▓   croons a narrative of pornographic photography sessions, which is punctured by squealing       ▓ªª
ªª▓   shards of Cosey's guitar and deeply unnerving tapes of unidentifiable people in compromising   ▓ªª
ªª▓   situations that seem to mingle distress, ecstasy, and pain. Tilting a repellent and yet        ▓ªª
ªª▓   seductive purr against found audio fragments, it's as if the crew of "To Catch a Predator"     ▓ªª
ªª▓   arrived too late to stop the Drake of "Marvins Room" from making a snuff film: once            ▓ªª
ªª▓   encountered, you can't hit undo.                                                               ▓ªª
ªª▓   But as much as TG tried to deliberately "guarantee disappointment" and mutate away from any    ▓ªª
ªª▓   signature, certain gestures had started to recur: "Six Six Sixties" ends this album in the     ▓ªª
ªª▓   riff rock grind-mode just as "Blood on the Floor" ended D.O.A. Patterns had begun to emerge,   ▓ªª
ªª▓   and the cumulative pressure of their own survival now forces the band members to work harder   ▓ªª
ªª▓   to surprise themselves. It's in the pathos of their promiscuous liasons with the forbidden     ▓ªª
ªª▓   territory of various forms of "real music" that this album generates a weirdly gripping        ▓ªª
ªª▓   power of its own.                                                                              ▓ªª
