Long time ago from the original context. TG‘s relaunch gigs 20 years ago have some definitive renditions of early works and will age better than a raft of PTV gubbins. To represent Sheffield briefly, TG never hit as hard personally as Cabaret Voltaire. Cue awfully vague language like the dreaded word ‘groove’
A coherence is missing with TG masked by ferocity and intent. Never saw GPO live until 1990 and it was e’d up mania a million miles away from the 70’s. Bits of ephemera linked to PTV collaborative projects, like Academy 23, are worth seeking out, more for the Burroughs/Gysin contributions
