Far from it - according to \u003cstrong\u003eChris Carter\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eThrobbing Gristle\u003c\/strong\u003e was just getting started: “\u003cem\u003eD.O.A.\u003c\/em\u003e showcased some of our strongest work and established the course we would head in.” There’s hints of the glossy sound they would embrace on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Throbbing+Gristle+20+Jazz+Funk+Greats\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e20 Jazz Funk Greats\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, but still plenty of abrasive noise, weird guitar jams and gross shit like “E-Coli” and of course “Hamburger Lady,” which features \u003cstrong\u003eGenesis P-Orridge\u003c\/strong\u003e reciting a letter sent to the band from a hospital worker about a severely disfigured patient that nobody could bear to look at without losing their lunch. What I love about \u003cstrong\u003eTG\u003c\/strong\u003e is how efficient and democratic it was - not some idealistic frontman bossing around three mediocre hacks, instead 4 equally innovative artists empowering themselves to change the course of music forever. This aspect of the group is best realized on this record which, alongside more collaborative material, includes four solo tracks from each band member highlighting their individual styles and foreshadowing their subsequent projects. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Peter+Christopherson\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleazy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e’s lurching sound art piece “Valley Of The Shadow Of Death” teases some of his later conceptual work with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?\u0026amp;q=Coil\u0026amp;filter=Brand\/Manufacturer\/Artist_fq:%22Coil%20Presents%20Black%20Light%20District%22%20OR%20Brand\/Manufacturer\/Artist_fq:%22Coil%22\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGen\u003c\/strong\u003e’s “Weeping” is a bizarre ballad with a bluesy twang, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Cosey+Fanni+Tutti\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCosey\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e’s “Hometime” is the closest thing to a sonic representation of the slightly unsettling scene depicted on the cover.
