The Artist/Album: Throbbing Gristle, Desertshore / The Final Report (Industrial, November 26th)
Why It’s Worth the Wait: Now that Peter Christopherson’s passed away and Genesis P-Orridge has gotten into several public spats with Chris & Cosey, some longtime TG fans might cry heresy over anyone continuing to use the group’s name on not just one but two new LPs. To which we say…get over it. What goes on behind Throbbing Gristle’s closed doors shouldn’t get in the way of this, the completion of a Nico tribute Sleazy himself started (Desertshore, featuring such guest vocalists as Sasha Grey, Antony Hegarty and Marc Almond) and a Final Report that just might leave a nail in their collective coffin for now.
