Throbbing
Gristle, and the music made by its members since the Mission was Terminated,
has been one of the most profound influences on us and remains so to this day.
One
day, during a period of darkness, we had a laugh. The kind of laugh where your
cheeks and abdomen hurt. A tribute, cover band and a Holiday record. Throbbing
Gristletoe.
Well,
we made another record first, a tribute to classical poetry, which we composed
in the same darkness aforementioned. The darkness has lifted a bit, we have
moved on, and in the last couple weeks decided to go back to that laughter.
Remembering
that Christmas is about greed and sales, we have made these tracks available
for download free for the first 666 persons. After which, our Mission Will be
Terminated.
Below
is a cutup text from Throbbing Gristle’s record, CD 1, one of our favorite
records, so If you have no idea what they were about, you may have some small
glimpse, and continue your own ReSearch, for inspiration and Gnosis.
You
get what you are given, and what you are given is primarily conditioning that
pushes you towards blind acceptance.
There
are NO LIES on these records, no one here is a leader.
Truth
and hope have no boundaries, no set style, they are implicit most clearly in
the way you choose to live.
We
all have to move forward.
We made sounds we
liked and wanted to hear. Usually these were not the conventional ones our
'contemporaries' were using, since we felt that there was little or no point in
rearranging the same tired old pop cliches - they just weren't interesting.
I
for one, continue to feel this way even now.
All
images begin in mirrors and end inside our subconscious. All conscious mirrors
crack and cut; Seep blood and stain our dearest outfits.
Thee
mirror receives our staring gaze and we melt quite gently and sink away leaving
a smoky, cloudy effect like bleach spreading in water.
A
chosen few (thousands) perhaps. Moments in time that change peoples jives and
cannot be forgotten.
Like
its parent band, Sephid Tzefala, Throbbing Gristletoe was recorded at once, in
first takes, as one particular member is a fanatic Immediatist. Meaning he has
no patience, but somehow makes this political.
