false 1297660 1 Previous writings about Throbbing Gristle have tended to dissolve into lurid half-truths about deviance on and offstage; their actual recordings, lyrics and images have received comparatively slim analysis. Yet their work informs a broad range of music which draws inspiration from TG's arcane, deliberately misleading example: not just 'industrial' music but also synth-pop, the lounge revival, the noise scene, techno, and the English esoteric underground - they can all trace their debts to Throbbing Gristle. Twenty Jazz Funk Greats (a deliberately 'inconsistent' album) explains why.<P> Drew Daniel creates an exploded view of the album's multiple agendas: a series of close readings of each song, shot through with a sequence of thematic entries on key concepts, strategies, and contexts. (For example: noise, leisure, process, the abject, information, and repetition.) The book argues that on Twenty Jazz Funk Greats, Throbbing Gristle modelled a critically new and highly promiscuous way of relating to or inhabiting musical genre - where punk rock was passionate and direct, TG were arch and mysterious, perverse and cold. 1286815 15 12 2007 Throbbing Gristle's Twenty Jazz Funk Greats (33 1/3) total:42|5:9|4:21|3:9|2:3|1:0| 42 162 68 11 4 19 false false Thu Sep 24 07:34:45 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 07:36:28 -0700 2009 Rolling Stone magazine -- I have the urge (to paraphrase Max von Sydow's quote about Jesus in Hannah and Her Sisters) to never stop throwing up.
