“Journey Through A Body” by Throbbing Gristle - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1982 → ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1980s → |
Recorded in March 1981, over the course of five days, one day per body section! Released in 1982. Cosey Fani Tutti: “I'd been approached to make a sound work for RAI, Italian national radio, based on the theme of 'A Journey Through the Body'… We all went to Rome to record at RAI's studios for a week. The studio technicians were a joke - they were stoned or drunk and unhelpful most of the time - so we took over the recording sessions and recorded with their grand piano, synthesizers and other assorted instruments.”
