Editor's info:

Part Two - The Endless Not, the first new album since 1980's Heathen Earth, is released on Industrial / Mute on 2nd April 2007.

From the band's formation through to 1981 and with the release of a string of albums including The Second Annual Report, 20 Jazz Funk Greats and the legendary 24 Hours Cassette Boxed Set (reissued on CD by the Grey Area of Mute in 2002) Throbbing Gristle troubled eardrums, shattered preconceptions and changed lives.

The repercussions of their sonic, ideological and industrial experiments are still being felt today. Throbbing Gristle consistently deployed their music as a weapon attacking the apparatus of the music industry. TG set up their own imprint, Industrial Records, for the distribution of their noises and even incorporated the art gallery practice of making special limited edition hand-assembled LPs, pre-packaged videos and live cassettes.
