Desertshore / The Final Report (LP)
X-TG
Amoeba Review
Aaron Detroit, Hollywood 12/05/2012
Desertshore/The Final Report was originally planned and announced as a Throbbing Gristle tribute to Nico's influential Desertshore album, until Genesis P-Orridge abandoned the sessions and eventually the group all-together. Peter Christopherson (who had long dreamed of "re-imagining" Nico's songs) was unthwarted and continued work on the LP until his death in November 2010. Remaining TG members Chris and Cosey eventually finished his work via instructions and notes their departed friend left for them. The result is a 2LP stunner with guest vocalists including Marc Almond, Antony and Blixa Bargeld. The second LP, The Final Report, is the sort of cosmic jam that is fitting as a send-off for those crossing the final Threshold.
