the original of 'persuasion' can be found on throbbing gristle's
'20 jazz funk greats' cd (mute) , i dug it out recently and was
suprised how contempory it all sounds , why a couple of the
tracks could be afx himself! , tg were too prolific resulting in a lot
of 'surplus to requirment' material being released which consisted
of grating industrial noise with someone shouting over the top , but
they also produced some class stuff which draws a straight line
between them and the newskoolelectronica of paradinas,autechre
skam,,rephlex etc...,the band split in 1981 cos they were pissed off
with all the identikit 'black leather/cod - industrial' bands that
appeared in their wake..a lesson to be learned...
as henry rollins says 'get into it for yourselves'
