The release of the new THROBBING GRISTLE album 'PART 2' was delayed for months, I'm sure it was like 6 months or longer. We'll Im exploding with pure excitement as It's just arrived. So has my chip butty... Double penetration. Whoopie.The album begins with 'Vow Of Silence' a brooding peice that demonstrates that they're still at the cutting edge and pushing the technology. Then 'Rabbit Snare' is like a cabaret jazz type track with Genesis on vocals (with his big boobies) which becomes fucked around with by Carter and Sleazy on their Macs. 'Almost A Kiss' is brimming with soul and haunting electronics and spooky choir not unlike some of Coil's later stuff. I never thought I'd get to review a new Throbbing Gristle album as long as I lived and it gives me immense pleasure to be able to say that they've still got it. True innovators back on Mute.

This is the first studio album by Throbbing Gristle (Chris Carter, Peter Christopherson, Genesis P. Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti) since 1980's "Heathen Earth". Between 1975 and 1981, with the release of a string of albums, they troubled eardrums, shattered preconceptions and changed lives, and the repercussions of their sonic, ideological and industrial experiments are still being felt today. Initial pressings of "Part Two - The Endless Not" will be as a Special Edition Totemic Gift CD. Each CD will include one of a series of four different TG Totemic Gifts which will be made of either copper, bone, rubber or wood. Each one, an edition of 1000, was handmade in Thailand under Peter Christopherson's supervision.
