In the early 90s, novamute partnered with Tommy Boy Music for their US releases, which featured a \"NMCD\" prefix on their catalog number. Later on, when Mute established its own North American office, the numbering series continued with the prefix changed to \"NovaMute\".

In many respects Throbbing Gristle as artists, self-promoters, marketeers, label owners and music makers broke the mould on every level and decentralised the whole music making process into their own hands. It therefore came as no surprise when some of the most notable figures in electronic dance music jumped at the chance to re-work some classic TG catalogue. The record was originally released on Mute’s sub-label NovaMute in 2004, and saw reworks from DJ and producer Carl Craig, electronic duo Two Lone Swordsmen (Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood), Basement Jaxx’s Simon Ratcliffe, electronic post-industrial duo Motor (Mr Nô and Bryan Black), as well as TG’s very own Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti.  Formed in 1975 from the ashes of performance art troupe\/media guerrilla cell Coum Transmissions, Throbbing Gristle consisted of Genesis P-Orridge (1950 – 2020), Cosey Fanni Tutti, Chris Carter and Peter Christopherson (1955 – 2010). During their most active period of 1975 – 1981, TG fully delivered on punk’s failed promise to explore extreme culture as a way of sabotaging systems of control, releasing seminal records such as \u003ci\u003eThe Second Annual Report Of Throbbing Gristle\u003c\/i\u003e (1977)\u003ci\u003e, D.O.A The Third And Final Report Of Throbbing Gristle \u003c\/i\u003e(1978), \u003ci\u003e20 Jazz Funk Greats\u003c\/i\u003e (1979) and more.
