20 Jazz Funk Greats

Throbbing Gristle

The title acts as a cynical joke, as the contents are neither jazz nor funk. The band recorded at a site known for its high suicide rate, resulting in a cold, unsettling mood.

Released via their own label, the album uses primitive synthesizers and tape loops to create a clinical yet human feel. It represents a moment where experimental artists challenged the existing boundaries of pop music.
