Throbbing Gristle and physical sound

Revisiting TG, I was thinking that it's been a really long time since I've heard anything that has this kind of raw energy. Are computers making music boring? I've heard plenty of pretty music made on computers, but pretty is limited to being pretty. I want to hear more like this: here is the regrouped TG 23 years later. Now sporting laptops, but still sounding fresh. It's interesting to see how things have changed, or rather how things have rearranged.

Hyper-active spaz-out mix

Mix 2 is the complete opposite of the first mix. It's sort of an ode to the candy-coma week following halloween. I remember when I was young I would empty out my pillowcase of halloween candy on the floor and proceed to build a candy fortress. After it was all built I would start to consume it all. I'd get all sugar-high and lose myself in nintendo wonderland. By the end of the week my fortress was usually reduced to a few boxes of raisins, some dum-dums, and maybe a few smarties. It's interesting how much that all played into some of my musical interests later in life. Making this mix, it suddenly made sense to me why the Warp records sound appealed to me so much in my teen years. So, anyways this mix is all candy and nintendo. A mix for a spastic 10 year old: 8-Bit Attention Span

mix series

I decided to make a series of mixes. I'll be using ableton live to create them, using cross-fades and such, but I'm no dj, so they will be mostly in the mix-tape style. The first one is an ambient mix. It's fairly dark, probably best for nighttime listening in the dark.
