Throbbing Gristle's Greatest Hits

Throbbing Gristle's Greatest Hits set was both a misnomer and definitive statement. On the face of it a band as obtuse and perverse as Throbbing Gristle shouldn't have released a 'greatest hits' set, how could one compile a whole album of 'hits' from a catalogue of scree, minimal aural foolery and animalistic machine-molesting? The reality is that each track on Greatest Hits should have been a massive hit in an alternate universe unsullied by mass commercial interests. Standouts are the pervy electro of Hot on the Heels of Love, the primal howl of Subhuman and the sub-anthemic United.
