I think this album is incredibly good, from the first second to the last... but I can understand that someone with a background that's more techno than industrial/experimental to be disappointed. This being said, Throbbing Gristle, once they exploded, went in all sorts of directions, all of which could be interesting for you : - Genesis P Orridge went on to found Psychic TV, who had a trancey period for a while, even if it wasn't their best ; try to listen to "Towards thee infinite beat" (Mr Gianelli will probably be able to tell you a lot more about them...) - Christopherson became one half of Coil... everything they recorded is pure genius to my ears, you should check "Musick to play in the dark vol 1", gives an excellent view on their most electronic work - Chris Carter and Cosey Fan Tutti became Chris & Cosey, they are the most relevant for electro ; check out tracks like the classic "October", and the double-cd comp recently released on World Serpent.
with these guys, it really is a matter of taste, so you'd better listen to these albums at friends' / download some MP3s from the net before you start hunting these releases... also be very cautious, because they released hundreds of records !
