I'll direct your attention to All Music Guide
http://www.allmusic.com
search for Throbbing Gristle and you'll find a wealth of information - if
you have about five hours then check all the links as well
by the way - who were the people that came up with the idea of AMG? It has
to be one of the most brilliant websites and resources ever. I use the
website daily for music research and I'm beginning to have a nice stack of
their books too.
cheers to AMG and all the writers and staff!

wow. theres lots to learn. genesis p orrige was in throbbing
gristle, the band that basically "invented" industrial music. PTV
was a later project that was more acid house oriented, though not
exclusively. coil is peter christopherson (also of throbbing
gristle fame) and john balance. those guys are nuts, their records
were very influential to me when i was like 15. without all that
kind of stuff, id have never been able to get into techno house
and jungle. theres so much more to say about these cats but i have
to run to work.
