A belated compilation of the very Non-prolific inspirator for Throbbing Gristle's Industrial records moniker, Monte Cazazza.
An excellent retrospective of Cazazza's work,from TG style echo laden recitals, sound collages, to some minimal electronics.Definitely a twin soul for Throbbing Gristle,and a fine body of work.

Cheers for this. Do you - or does anyone - have a copy of the entire 'Pinpoints on a Nation' cassette? Keen to hear the Tim Wright tune from it. J
