D.O.A. THE THIRD AND FINAL REPORT

It might be the "Third and Final Report" but it's the second of the crucial, core trilogy of seminal Throbbing Gristle albums (which began with the Second Annual Report and concluded with the delightfully misleadingly named 20 Jazz Funk Greats). Foreboding, chugging noises, muttered conversations recorded just fuzzily enough that you can't quite follow what is being discussed, Genesis P-Orridge mumbling about a "Hamburger Lady" as a synthesiser bubbles and burbles evilly... it's all sinister, troubling stuff which will get under your skin. No wonder they received death threats (as capably documented on, you guessed it, Death Threats). An industrial music connection which skips Throbbing Gristle is questionable at best.
