(Photo by Paul Heartfield, 2007) The Throbbing Gristle reissue series is set to relaunch on August 23, 2024, with the release of “TGCD1” and “The Third Mind Movements”, available on both CD and vinyl.
You can already listen to “The Third Mind: First Movement”, an eight-minute piece recorded during the ICA Desertshore sessions. Previously, this track was available only on a CD sold during TG’s final US tour in 2009.
“TGCD1” will be available on vinyl for the first time. It’s also the first CD release since 1986 under The Grey Area of Mute. Included are 42 minutes of studio recordings from March 18, 1979, at TG’s Martello Street studio using a TEAC 8-Track recorder. The set comes with a booklet with original 1986 sleeve notes by the band.
For “The Third Mind Movements” it will. Be a first-time ever vinyl release and the first commercial CD release as it was originally an exclusive CD for the band’s final US tour in 2009. It features recordings from the Desertshore sessions at the ICA, London and consists of six live recordings marked by manipulated samples, rhythmical breakbeats, and electronic oscillations.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
