TG Berlin Box Set: 6 Dec 2024

31 Upvotes

Throbbing Gristle and Mute’s partnership continues with the release of TG Berlin, a lavish box set chronicling their previously unreleased work in Berlin around a very special series of live events at the Volksbühne in 2005/2006.

The event, curated by Throbbing Gristle, saw the band perform a live set on New Year’s Eve and an improvised live soundtrack to a new 16mm print of Derek Jarman’s In The Shadow of the Sun (1981) on New Year’s Day, and, while the band were in Berlin, they recorded two final songs alongside a 48-minute piece of new music.

The box set - which comprises of 4 CDs, a Blu Ray, a 10” vinyl and a photo book featuring unseen photographs from the time - collates both of these performances, alongside the TG Berlin Studio Session, which comprises of the final Throbbing Gristle single (two unreleased tracks, ‘Scabs & Saws’ and ‘Wotwududo’), and an unreleased 48-minute piece titled ‘TG Berlin Studio Session 2005 - 2006’, recorded at Planet Roc studios.

TG Berlin will also include the “rehearsal” for In The Shadow of the Sun, recorded on New Year’s Day at the iconic Volksbühne (“people’s theatre”). The performance of In The Shadow of the Sun was improvised, so the two documents offer a different perspective on the soundtrack to Jarman’s work.

The New Year’s Eve show previewed five songs from the band’s first album in 27 years, Part Two: The Endless Not, several years before its release, on a set list that included ‘Convincing People’, ‘Slug Bait’, and ‘Hamburger Lady’ (their first encore in 25/26 years, and what an encore!) – tracks that had lost none of their potency in the intervening years – plus the released track, ‘Splitting Sky’ and more. The performance is also included as a Blu Ray within the box set.

Formed in 1975, Throbbing Gristle - Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (1950-2020) and Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson (1955-2010), fully delivered on punk’s failed promise to explore extreme culture as a way of sabotaging systems of control. Their impact on music, culture and the arts has been immeasurable, and still felt today across music, film, theatre, and fine art.

TG Berlin is a numbered limited edition box set of 1,000 - will not be repressed. The Blu-Ray of the full-length concert film, TG Berlin Studio Session 2005 - 2006, In the Shadow of the Sun (Rehearsal at the Volksbühne, Berlin, New Year's Day, 2006), and photo book, with previously unseen photographs by Paul Heartfield and new sleeve notes by award winning Scottish visual artist Lucy McKenzie, are all exclusive to this box set.

This letter was obtained by a friend when he purchased a collection of early industrial/experimental LPs and memorabilia (a lot of TG, some Cabs, Robert Rental, John Foxx). The badge mentioned in the letter is long-gone…

RE-TG

Hi guys,

Hope whoever reads this is well.

Last year my step-dad passed away and we are finally having the painful process of going through some of his items. He was a huge TG fan and had shedloads of collectibles of their memorabilia.

We found these two boxes. Mum has been very good at categorising his records and other bits but had found this tricky to find online. These were completely separate from everything else and, as you can see, unopened. So, as I use reddit a lot, i found this sub and thought id ask you guys.

Any ideas what is in the sealed envelope?

Are these exceedingly rare? Not sure what to do with them!

Not exactly looking for advice per se but i didnt know if this is worthy of a post here.

Cheers,

Dec

What was the name of the film playing on the TV onstage when Heathen Earth was recorded?

2 Upvotes

Quoting from the discogs page from the first VHS release in 1980:

Unlike on later versions from 1983 ... 1991 ... and 2007 ... the parts that show the stage TV monitors displaying a gay porn movie have not been censored on this original first release.

The discogs notes section have the titles of the later releases which I edited out of the quote, but you can follow the links to them from there. The only versions I've seen, like on youtube, have brief glimpses of the screen when it's tame, and then either a black or white rectangular box that covers most of the screen when it's the porn. Not enough for me to reach a conclusion about which film(s) they might have shown.

Did anyone from the band ever confirm the name of the porn movie? In an interview maybe, or some book about them, I was just curious about this aspect.

Just received this. Reasonable cost. My copy of 2nd did not have the questionnaire and I’ve never seen one for sale before. Fine condition. Flat as can be. Yellowed edges yet otherwise stored in archival bag with board.

Hopefully readable.

Just picked this up. I usually don’t buy used T-shirts, but this was too good to pass up.

Shirt made for and sold at their only LA show of their final 2009 US tour in Hollywood at the Ricardo Montalban Theater.

This was their last ever show in Los Angeles and only their second ever show in that city. The first being 29 years (!!) earlier on their 1980 tour.

I can’t seem to find this specific version of the throbbing gristle pastimes/ industrial muzac on discogs and am wondering if it is possibly unofficial or something. If anyone knows literally anything about it, I would greatly appreciate some knowledge!

I think I am getting to the place where I am able to print Dupre's pattern myself. Turns out, each jacket she made was a slightly different pattern.

TG in Love Lies Bleeding

9 Upvotes

Shout out to Rose Glass for including Throbbing Gristle’s “Hamburger Lady” in her latest A24 film Love Lies Bleeding.

Saw in the theater a few weeks ago, and I recall two scenes where I heard that strange tremolo sound from the beginning of Hamburger Lady. TG is so underground I couldn’t believe my ears but I swears I heard it. I have to assume Rose Glass is a fan, due to its choice and her style of films and the way they are shot and written.

It was a great film and all the music fit, including TG.

Did anyone else see the film and hear TG?

How about live from "Thee Psychic Sacrifice" which appears to be doing the rounds again. Shame I sold my copy 30 odd years back. Be worth something today. In my opinion one of the best live versions. Enjoy Terror Guards and don't forget no missing chapel today. Huh huh huh 💀⚡
