I think I've seen some of those PTV live albums, will pick a couple up.

The best place to start with TG is probably 20 Jazz Funk Greats (not jazz funk at all, of course), and the live Heathen Earth. 2nd Annual Report (their first album) and D.O.A. are also well worth having. The best live stuff is all collected on 2 box sets on Mute: TG24 (24 concerts, 24 hours) and TG+ (10 concerts, 10 hours), but that's a very expensive way in. Assume Power Focus (a semi-official bootleg from 1982 that did get a CD release a few years ago) is fantastic if you can find it, as is Thee Psychick Sacrifice, a live double album released by Illuminated that I don't think has ever been reissued on CD outside the TG24 box.

Mute are about to release an album of hip young remixes called Mutant TG, which will either be a travesty or not, who knows:

[QUOTE="sideshowbob, post: 530794, member: 1059"] I think I've seen some of those PTV live albums, will pick a couple up. The best place to start with TG is probably 20 Jazz Funk Greats (not jazz funk at all, of course), and the live Heathen Earth. 2nd Annual Report (their first album) and D.O.A. are also well worth having. The best live stuff is all collected on 2 box sets on Mute: TG24 (24 concerts, 24 hours) and TG+ (10 concerts, 10 hours), but that's a very expensive way in. Assume Power Focus (a semi-official bootleg from 1982 that did get a CD release a few years ago) is fantastic if you can find it, as is Thee Psychick Sacrifice, a live double album released by Illuminated that I don't think has ever been reissued on CD outside the TG24 box.
