Also Search:
PTV - Dreams Less Sweet, Unclean 12", NY Scum Haters live LP (w/Sleazy and John Gosling), Roman P. EP, and I like some of Infinite Beat. Their 7" on Sordide Sentimentale is super excellent as well.
TG - All four studio LPs, Journey Through A Body LP, Very Friendly LP for the studio stuff. Rafters, Thee Psychick Sacrifice (double LP version), and Mission Of Dead Souls for the live fix (haven't heard those Mute CDs).
Coil - Well, I love it all, but the two Musick To Play In The Dark CDs are ace. Also Moon's Milk and the live discs. After that I'd go early (Scatology, Horse Rotorvator, Gold Is The Metal) and then pick up the Unnatural History CDs. After THAT I might get L.S.D. or the more out there stuff (Glitch, Time Machines, Stolen And Contaminated). The Black Light District album is great too.
Chris/Cosey/CTI/Carter/Tutti - My very favorite is the CTI live LP European Rendezvous, the live record Elemental 7 is also superb. For straight Chris & Cosey I'd do Trance, Techno Primitiv, and the recent live CD Union. The Collectiv One CD has a good Carter solo and two killer 12" records - unfortunately not the one with Annie Lennox though! Heartbeat is good too.
DESTROY:
PTV - That godawful live disc that Sordide Sentimentale put out. All these lame new greatest hits and remixes things. Maybe half of the live series. I don't really like Allegory And Self much either. Love War Riot? Ick.
TG - I feel like even the less interesting live TG is still interesting, so the only destroy I'd mention are the dubious posthumous releases: Grief, Kreeme Horn, and a couple of others on the Dossier label I think. Avoid.
Coil - I refuse to relate the concept of "destroy" to "Coil". However, I can see how The Snow EP would fail to move some of the more stonehearted, and the ANS series is a bit, uh, static. Astral Disaster is a hard sell too.
Chris & Cosey - God I hate that Exotika/Take Five crap. There are numerous bad records that followed it, I'd destroy all the Nettwerk stuff. The music they have been making lately is quite worth checking out though.
That was fun.

Psychic TV on tour. Anyone seen them in recent years?

There are eight million Throbbing Gristle threads. Might as well revive this one because:
1) There are full reissues of the original TG albums due with bonus tracks etc. in the next few weeks.
2) I'm lucky enough to have advance copies. And they look GOOOOOD.

in brief: terrifying The Man was pretty easy in 1970s England, all related parties were sweet cuddly people who continued to be so throughout their careers, Hawkwind fans used to be less tolerant than you'd think they ought to be, Wreckers of Civilization is well worth the read

Just seen a new edition of Wreckers of Civilisation listed on Amazon for August. Anybody know anything about that?Have been hoping that Cosey's memoir might prompt a new edition.
― Stevolende, Monday, 8 May 2017 00:20 (seven years ago) link
there was supposed to be a repress in nov 2015 that amazon took my money for and eventually refunded. so i am skeptical. but would be awesome if it happened.
― the late great, Monday, 8 May 2017 04:12 (seven years ago) link
Appears to be legit, probably a straight reprint with no new material:https://black-dog-publishing.myshopify.com/products/wreckers-of-civilisation
― heaven parker (anagram), Monday, 8 May 2017 04:39 (seven years ago) link
Shame about the no new material if that's true. I thought there had been so9me significant events since it was originally published, band reforming shortly, sleazy dying, back catalogue being remastered etc.But have regretted not having got it before.
― Stevolende, Monday, 8 May 2017 08:36 (seven years ago) link
Having read Cosey's book, the criticism that Wreckers was overly Gencentric seems valid.
