Throbbing Gristle – Mutant TG

Description

Mutant TG, Throbbing Gristles first ever collection of remixes available again on CD via NovaMute/Mute.

In many respects Throbbing Gristle as artists, self-promoters, marketeers, label owners and music makers broke the mould on every level and decentralised the whole music making process into their own hands. It therefore came as no surprise when some of the most notable figures in electronic dance music jumped at the chance to re-work some classic TG catalogue. The record was originally released on Mutes sub-label NovaMute in 2004, and saw reworks from DJ and producer Carl Craig, electronic duo Two Lone Swordsmen (Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood), Basement Jaxxs Simon Ratcliffe, electronic post-industrial duo Motor (Mr N and Bryan Black), as well as TGs very own Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti.

Formed in 1975 from the ashes of performance art troupe/media guerrilla cell Coum Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle consisted of Genesis P-Orridge (1950 2020), Cosey Fanni Tutti, Chris Carter and Peter Christopherson (1955 2010). During their most active period of 1975 1981, TG fully delivered on punks failed promise to explore extreme culture as a way of sabotaging systems of control, releasing seminal records such as The Second Annual Report Of Throbbing Gristle (1977), D.O.A The Third And Final Report Of Throbbing Gristle (1978), 20 Jazz Funk Greats (1979) and more. After years of pursuing different projects, the band reformed in 2004, performing several concerts and releasing projects such as TG Now(2004), Mutant TG and Part Two: The Endless Not (2007) before disbanding for good in 2010.
