The “Final Report” needs Genesis badly and I think that’s really the only thing that is annoying about the X-TG thing is that they should not have used that name to for that collection of tracks.
I can see why you’d say that, but I think it works perfectly. You’re forced to focus on the music, and it’s brilliant. Stasis and What He Said are two of the best things they’ve ever recorded.
To me, because of the lack of Genesis, the true “Final Report” of Throbbing Gristle is their reunion album ‘Part Two: The Endless Not’ which I LOVE
Haven’t listened to it in years. Thanks for reminding me of this.
