    ... and what did you expect?

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 11, 2001

    By saying this record to be '20 Jazz-Funk Greats' you expect either covers of Louis Armstrong/Ella Fitzgerald classics or any least Cole Porter tune massively grotesque as far as TG would reach that point, but as it all gets into your ear quite stres...sful. Though at times quite friendly ('Walkabout' and 'Hot on the Heels of Love') threatning ambient feel of 'Beachy Head' and 'Exotica' or bass stabs on album's most perverse effort 'Persuasion' and repetitive 'What a Day' make you feel quite sick. One of black humour's best. Read more Less

    It's not music.

    It's Art.

  • All Music Guide

    It's a break in the clouds from Throbbing Gristle's pummeling noise and a first glimpse at the continuing pop influence on the TG/PTV axis, but 20 Jazz Funk Greats still isn't best described by its title. If there is such a thing as a funky Throbbing Gristle LP, however, this could well be it. "Hot on the Heels of Love," "Hamburger Lady" and "Six Six Sixties" add only occasional bits of distortion between the rigid sequencer lines. 20 Jazz Funk Greats is the best compromise between TG's early industrial aesthetic and the reams of industrial-dance and dark synth-pop groups that used the album as a stepping stone to crossover appeal.

Throbbing Gristle

Abrasive, aggressive and antagonistic, Britain's Throbbing Gristle pioneered industrial music; exploring death, mutilation, fascism and degradation amidst a thunderous cacophony of mechanical noise, tape loops, extremist antimelodies and bludgeoning beats, the group's cultural terrorism the "wreckers of civilization," one tabloid called them raised the stakes of artis... Read more
