Throbbing Gristle ‎– Heathen Earth. Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Gatefold. Second pressing on black vinyl issued in a gatefold cover. The object was to make a record of . performing live without the often unpredictable influence of adverse playing conditions on the music and on the technical quality.

Throbbing Gristle were never meant to be reliable, but here they come again, ready to be harvested by the very culture industry they alternately solicited and spat upon so long ago. Permit me to adjust my obscene hairdo and offer those of you not already in the know some history: In their first incarnation as the Death Factory, they were the house band for Coum Transmissions, an abject performance-art troupe whose presentation of used tampons, anal syringes, and pornography featuring band member Cosey Fanny Tutti in the ICA gallery for their "Prostitution" show. A live-in-the-studio séance recorded in one take in front of a posse of friends and associates, I've always regarded Heathen Earth as the dog in the manger, sounding slightly stiff relative to the unhinged and abrasive live sound captured on the TG24 boxset, which archives their scalding live gigs before frequently hostile crowds with less fidelity but more.

This Throbbing Gristle album takes the riveting and heathen antics of the band and throws them into the very heart of the production. TG were always about metal, sweat, blood and sex stuffed together in one big hairy ball of uncomfortable silence and unnerving screeching. On Heathen Earth the band has invited a huge gathering of close friends and degenerates to come join them in the studio for a good wank and maybe a couple of beers. This is surely the real McCoy, and if you are sitting out there thinking about that crappy Jim Carrey movie with all the freakishly weird occurrences featuring the number 23 - then throw it in the river instantly, lock yourself in a darkened room for a day and play this thing over and over again. 23 will never have the same meaning again and you may have developed a fear of electronic music that sounds like it was made to woo old warehouses.

In member Chris Carter’s own words: You had to have been there. Which is what we always say about TG. TG on record and TG live are two completely different things. This album is probably the closest approximation of the two you’ll ever get: made in front of a small audience, the event was filmed by Monte Cazzaza with the intention of releasing it on video. The majority of the set is instrumental, fluctuating between the raw electronics of Throbbing Gristle’s early work and the band’s more melodic material

The world remains as sad ever since, and this record did put it in a brutal rhetorical question. By far, "Heathen Earth" is a personal favourite collection of theirs - while from audio perspective I am not that fond of TG's live material, "Heathen Earth" is a smart exception of "recording live in the studio", adding interesting new (if entirely improvised on the spot) ideas with those reinterpreted to disinformation as the track list was deliberately obscured for a long time. Only in the era of the Internet, the tracks' titles from this LP finally seem to be revealed. Furthermore, there happen to be slight differences between the album and the video version that is "Recording Heathen Earth", on how certain numbers are re-arranged sound wise - which adds to confusion, suggesting a one-time only occasion, where a number of cult figures gathered in support for this project. The video itself may have documentary value, but altogether is a pretty dull watch (not to mention the sound quality is a total mess), witnessing an interesting moment in history but apart from being there in the flesh, seeing TG improvise and adding occasional gibberish to this conceptual adventure of theirs - unless you're head over heels into everything TG - isn't really that interesting. The album as such is by far of bigger recommendation.A creepy cornet splicing up opens the album, the introduction suddenly sliding into an all-out aural assault of "The Old Man Smiled", a syndrum/guitar clash of the titans (interesting that there is an earlier, and entirely different live rendition of "The Old Man" to this one; in fact here we hear an interesting (and more complete) variant of "Six Six Sixties", that originally appears on the group's studio album "20 Jazz Funk Greats"). "Improvisation" is also a total stereo deconstruction of what might appear to be a rendition of the group's amazing 20-minute creepy ambient piece "After Cease To Exist". "The World Is a War Film" tackles the ear with a steady, repetitive groove filtered through merciless echo delay, augmented by guitar drone/overdubs and Genesis' deadpan reading. Continuing is a rock solid "Something Came Over Me" in its voxless dub version. "Still Talking" (probably just a pun to the tour-de-force synth beat fest that is "Still Walking") combines spoken parts drenched in echo delay, along with "Bass", cutting off at its tail end with the brilliant "Don't Do As You're Told, Do As You Think" - a repetitive techno overdrive, light years ahead of its time. "Painless Childbirth" concludes the session on an "optimistic note", suggesting "Heathen Earth" a form of "positive therapy".The CD edition of the album adds two extras, the incredibly catchy "Adrenalin" (originally the accompaniment to "Distant Dreams") and in stark contrast, the shrieking closer - "Subhuman" (originally from the "Something Came Over Me" 7"). Still enjoyable for the sheer perversity of it - leaving the listener to his own devices, absorbed by the nightmarish concept that remains a truly unique TG's doing.

My copy's case belongs to cat# TGCD5 with Barcode#: 7 24596 10962 5. The CD however, belongs to this MUTE pressing.

An exceptional piece. TG started playing live in a studio right at 10 p.m. in front of a small selected audience. At 10:50 the playing stopped and without *any* post-production the tape went to the plant. Who believes that classic industrial is noisy and agressive only, will experience TG at their most contemplative and sometimes almost jazzy recording. Wonderful.
Malanim
Agreed. Just listening to this for the first time and it's hitting all my right places. Wasn't expecting them to rock out either.
Angana
Thank you for your insight on the TG´s releases. I love those little details you mention.
