Throbbing Gristle - Vow of Silence

The hypnotic opener Vow of Silence is a case in point; the focal point loop shifts ever downwards, while layers of voice and atmospheric noise scatter outward and pull back into the building, a cyclic swell suggesting a constant state of expansion and contraction. As a first statement, it is a powerful one and demonstrates the clearer textural focus assumed on this recording.

This is one of the most disturbing recordings I have ever heard. And that power of this art is what I love about it!

@CybertoothAURX yes

@GenoClown things that don't exist don't die if that's the way you want to play it. but in reality, I don't define industrial by the sounds they use, which is mostly electronic. i define it by the spirit of trying to get people to think for themselves. it's not something you can define, it can only be felt. (which was what the very same quote said) and i wasn't asking you what i thought, i was asking what YOU thought.

@CybertoothAURX Read the quote you cited. Now, tell me that you don't define Industrial, and that it does exist. Makes perfects sense. I didn't even need to back it up, you ruined your own argument with the quote.

[CybertoothAURX]

@GenoClown arent you clever? telling me something and not backing it up

[GenoClown]

@CybertoothAURX Why.

[CybertoothAURX]

@GenoClown is it now? tell me why

[GenoClown]
