Throbbing Gristle: 20 Jazz Funk Greats 12"
Mute present aĀ colored vinyl reissueĀ ofĀ 20 Jazz Funk Greats, the landmark 1979 album from industrial music pioneersĀ Throbbing Gristle. The impetus for the record apparently came about from Genesis P-Orridge's mom's request that the band record something "nice." The tame cover photo shows the nattily dressed band ā white disco jacket, comfy slacks, mini-skirt ā stood amid flowers on a clifftop. The chosen scene of natural beauty was Beachy Head, a notorious suicide spot.Ā 20 Jazz Funk Greats'Ā cheerful breaching of lounge jazz and disco contains some of the band's prettiest moments on songs like the breathy "Hot on the Heels of Love." Similarly "Tanith" and "Exotica" are gentle interludes in which TG's usual jagged punctuations are kept to a minimum. You could be fooled into thinking this was indeed easy-listening industrial.Ā FactĀ named it the 'Best Album of the 1970s', writing that, "This album is a rupture. It's an open crack into the unpronounceable dimensions into which tumble important streams of 20th century pop, art and underground culture, to seethe around each other, mingling, festering, sprouting new and unpredictable forms which in turnĀ would ooze out to infest vast sections of what comes after."
