Industrial
THROBBING GRISTLE - The Second Annual Report LP
$37.95
Highly recommended.
An album full of twisted, creepy and aggressive, intense industrial sounds on this, their debut LP. These guys created the industrial genre so is said, and boy it's a bleak soundtrack here. Tracks like 'Slug Bait' bubble and give the occasional pop of scratchy terror. 'Maggot Death' is the sound of the film 'Apocalypse Now', with a whirling helicopter sound and distorted, muffled voices and just a sense of horror which the Vietnam War (not long finished by the release of this) conjures. Things go quieter by the end with 20mins of pulsating noise that keeps you on the edge of you seat waiting for the bang. It doesn't come but that's why it's brilliant.
