“‘The Endless Not’ features some of the subtlest songwriting of TG’s career, playing that knot of tension for all its worth and all the more disturbing for how pensive and restrained it feels” - Pitchfork
Throbbing Gristle announce the next phase of their reissues series with the release of ‘Part Two: The Endless Not’ / ‘TG Now’ and ‘A Souvenir Of Camber Sands’.
In 2004 Chris Carter, Peter Christopherson, Genesis P-Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti reformed - 23 years after their mission was originally terminated - and between 2004 and 2007 the band released 14 new studio tracks and a live album of their appearance at ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas in Camber Sands.
With ‘Part Two: The Endless Not’, the band returned to the studio after deciding they had unfinished creative business outside of the live arena. Released in 2007, over 25 years after their last studio album, the album was, as Tiny Mix Tapes put it, “...more of a rebirthing than a reunion.” Several live documents followed the album’s release but the untimely death of Peter Christopherson in November 2010 meant that this would become the final Throbbing Gristle album and 15 years since the reformation, all the albums included in this phase of the remastered reissues, ‘Part Two: The Endless Not’, ‘TG Now’ and ‘A Souvenir Of Camber Sands’, stand proudly within the influential catalogue and legacy of TG.
‘TG Now’, originally released in 2004, was the sound of Throbbing Gristle testing the waters, seeing how it felt to work together again. The 4-track limited vinyl and CD release was available originally to attendees of the RE-TG Astoria event in 2004, their first performance together since 1981’s US tour.
‘Part Two: The Endless Not’ and ‘TG Now’ are packaged together as a clear vinyl triple LP spot gloss varnish box set with poster and stickers plus digital download.
