Very early in my music education, I was introduced to "Throbbing Gristle" via the local college radio station. TG were the creators of what is now called Industrial Music, although not the first to create such noise, they are probably one of the most influencial groups to come out of England in the late 70s/early 80s. Industrial music is a very apt label for their music and I am still at a loss as to why I actuially like this music. Their live music is a cacophony of feedback, tape loops, electronic sounds and dark lyrics, but they had a magic about them that made this music listenable and enjoyable to some of us, any one else trying to do what they did would probably sound total crap. In the early 80s, they released a set of tapes called "24 Hours Of Throbbing Gristle". 24 hour long cassettes of a large proportion of their live concerts between 1976 to 1980. After a few years this set of cassettes became very rare and the stuff of legend, with people looking, but finding only single copies of the tapes or believing that they didn't actually exist (The Mythical 24 Hours of Throbbing Gristle). I, myself had absolutely no idea of it's existence until I read a 5 Star Review in the Uncut magazine of the 24 CD boxset. On to Amazon.com I went and there it was, selling for something like $350 US dollars, that was over $500 in my money in 2003. Being a limited edition I took the plunge and ordered it, plunging my credit card into more debt and waiting in anticipation for its arrival half way round the world. I'm glad to say that my money was not wasted and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of the 24 hours (although not in one sitting). Best listened to on good headphone very loud. This masterpeice is now already quite rare, being a limited addition, and is currently selling for over $800 US dollars on Amazon, and i saw another copy for $1300 US dollars. So now, RARE MP3, with the blessing of Chuntao, and the dedication of Roddus, will be bringing to your quivering ears each of the "24 Hours Of Throbbing Gristle. Enjoy. Get all of this MEGA POST now.
