Throbbing Gristle follow-up project X-TG unveils “Janitor Of Lunacy” featuring Antony Hegarty

Norman Fleischer November 30, 2012

A while ago the legendary industrial band THROBBING GRISTLE got back together in the form of X-TG. After the death of bandmember Peter Christopherson the remaining avant-gard musicians decided to leave the name of their band behind. However they’ve just released an ambitious album project with two records at once – Desertshore and The Final Report. The first one is a sort ‘re-imagined’ cover version of NICO’s seminal 1970 album and it was initiated by Christopherson, the second one marks the last recording sessions of the band. The remaining THROBBING GRISTLE members Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti saw it as their duty to complete these projects – although with the help of great guest vocalists like Blixa Bargeld or Antoy Hegarty. The opening track of Desertshore, the stunning Janitor Of Lunacy, is one of the most beautiful tracks we at NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION heard in ages. So get ready to let yourself soak into this unique and dark world.

What is NBHAP about?

The world we live in becomes faster and more diversified than ever before. It might seem hard not to drown in possibilities and some of us just decide to be lived rather than create life. But there are people who want more. The music-magazine Nothing But Hope And Passion (NBHAP) wants to connect to those people. Individuals who consider open minded arts and thoughts as more than just a nice add-on to the life of labor. NBHAP is more than a music-magazine and is both about ecapism and not about escapism. About dreaming away but coming back. About running away from everyday life to find new strength, face things and cope with situations, problems and life in general. A music-magazine that does all this by being more than a music-magazine. Because music is - besides life - what NBHAP is passionate about and music is what gives hope. NBHAP is the music-magazine that lets you keeping a grip on hope.
