An independent label owned and run by the four members of Throbbing Gristle, a ground-breaking anti-music band from the second half of the 1970s. Industrial spawned a new kind of 'music', bleak, dehumanised and automated. The genre was named after the label, 'Industrial Music', and it is still with us today, albeit in several different forms. The label started life in 1976 and expired in 1981, when Throbbing Gristle broke up. Most of its releases were cassettes but it managed a few vinyl LPs and nine singles. The vinyl issues shared the same IR-0000 catalogue numbers. Thanks to Robert Bowes for the scan.
