Strand Notes

(33 1/3 series). On "20 Great Jazz Funk Greats," Throbbing Gristle modeled a critically new and highly promiscuous way of relating to or inhabiting musical genre - where punk rock was passionate and direct, Throbbing Gristle were arch and mysterious, perverse and cold. Including original interviews with all members of the band, this is a fascinating study of a highly unusual and enduringly influential group. References. 173p.

Description

In 20 Jazz Funk Greats Drew Daniel (of the experimental band Matmos) creates-through both his own insights and exclusive interviews with the band-an exploded view of the album's multiple agendas: a series of close readings of each song, shot through with a sequence of thematic entries on key concepts, strategies, and contexts (noise, leisure, process, the abject, information, and repetition). This is a smart and unusual book about a pioneering band.
