> I only ever owned " 20 jazz funk greats" and I can remember thinking wtf to some of that.
ha ha! yeah that's the correct response I think. if you haven't, I'd recommend Cossi's autobiography - it's pretty graphic. Gen doesn't come out of it looking particularly good. if TG's music was pushing boundaries COUM Transmissions (what TG became later) were pushing what was possible in live performance - I doubt anything like that will ever have a performance space these days.

yeah - they definitely went to the darker places -
> I really like some of Thighpaulsandras music , bonkers and very avant garde. Disturbing but still some brilliantly strange stuff.
There is a huge back catalogue of the Cossi/Carter legacy - some of it decades ahead of it's time -
i wont put up a link - but did you ever venture into the world of Whitehouse?! - i don't know what to make of them, I think they went too close to the subject matter in terms of 'research' - even TG were offended by them!
