... was most akin to the Disco pulse of Giorgio Moroder or the electronic adventurousness of early Tangerine Dream than any Punk or Prog experiments. Their sound had no equal until they inspired artists like Monte Cazazza and Cabaret Voltaire to create similar sounds -- the beginning of Industrial music as a genre. Through time, many artists created a much watered-down, tamer version of their electronic cacophony with a much wider public appeal. Even people who appreciate Throbbing Gristle rarely claim to "like" their music. Art of this intensity is not for everyone.
