20 Jazz Funk Greats

20 Jazz Funk Greats is Throbbing Gristle's 1979 album that broadens their industrial approach by combining abrasive noise, tape manipulation and found sound with more song-based electronic and rock structures. The record shifts between stark experimental pieces and surprisingly melodic tracks such as "Hot on the Heels of Love", using synth textures, percussion and confrontational vocals to unsettle as much as to groove. The title and the cover image, photographed at Beachy Head, are deliberately ironic and reflect the band's provocative, concept-driven sensibility.
