What a wonderful book this is, full of anecdotes and disgusting stories of the early days of industrial music surrounding the adventures of Coil, Current 93, and Nurse With Wound. Also telling the intertwined stories of Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV, United Dairies record label, and all the friends and relations surrounding this cast of unique characters. This book does come with an excellent compilation of tracks, and I decided to supplement this with era specific music which was referenced or detailed in the book. Well worth the read if anyone has even a passing interest in these artists or the scene.
