Chris Carter - Archival 1973 to 1977 (2019)

Archival 1973 to 1977 was originally released as part of Carter’s Miscellany box set released on Mute in 2018. Following the box set’s swift sell out, this collection of never before heard material from Carter’s time before and during Throbbing Gristle is now available on limited edition black double vinyl for fans to collect individually. As a founding member of Throbbing Gristle alongside Cosey Fanni Tutti, Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Chris Carter has had a significant role in the development of electronic music – a journey which has continued through his releases as one half of Chris & Cosey, Carter Tutti and a third of Carter Tutti Void, as well as with his own solo and collaborative releases. He is also credited with the invention and production of ground-breaking electronics – from the legendary Gristleizer self-built effects unit through to the Dirty Carter Experimental Sound Generating Instrument, the sold-out TG One Eurorack module (designed with Tiptop Audio) and the Future Sound Systems Gristleizer modules – Carter has created the means to make sounds as well as making the sounds themselves.
