"The only thing that created...was a seizure..."

That's cool. It's not for everyone. In fact it's only for Throbbing Gristle fans probably and I imagine only some of them will like it. It just seems obvious to me that most people who checked this film probably hadn't even heard of Throbbing Gristle let only actually like them yet they still sat through all 8 minutes of this. Hopefully at least 1 person became a fan :)

I feel this short gets too much of a bad wrap. True, it is dizzying to say the least, altough no more than any Brakhage imo. It is not too long, and the faces and voices rapidly passing through greys and oranges create some sense of disturbing, Apocalypse Now-esque ambiance.

And it does so successfully.

What the heck were you trying to get out of it?! There is no hidden secret to life in it. It's a straight forward film which creates an atomsphere through the images that enchances the music.

I've heard of TG, but this is the first time I hear them, and so far unimpressed

edit:
also (mod-edit: dead link removed) now
I'd finished the TG discog, and I like it, esp Hamburger Lady and the 20 Jazz Funk Greats album

Basically a music video for Throbbing Gristle which is comprised entirely of distorted footage of a T.G. live performance. At no point did I get anything out of this mess, except perhaps a headache. There were flashes of colors and every once and awhile you could make out a person, but that was about all there was too it. I just couldn't really see the point in it.

Indeed never heard of them, and plan to forget them as soon as possible :-)
