Their confrontational disposition and early tinkering with synthesizers, harsh noise and drum machines has attracted labels like “creators of industrial music” (likely more to do with their in-house recording imprint being called Industrial Records than the actual sound of their music), and the band’s confounding live shows often teetered between music and full-blown performance art. \u003cstrong\u003eCosey Fanni Tutti\u003c\/strong\u003e even worked as a stripper and pornographic actress as a form of performance art on her days off from TG.

For those of us who are already initiated, \u003cem\u003eTaste\u003c\/em\u003e fills the gaps in the band’s short but sweet discography with rare live recordings and 7-inch singles which will set you back a couple hundred bucks individually. There’s a pretty well-rounded assortment of the band’s various moods included here, from the gruff, thorny noise of “We Hate You (Little Girls),” “Industrial Introduction” and “Zyklon B Zombie” to later-period kosmische pop experiments like “Walkabout,” “United” and “Hot On The Heels Of Love.” Check out TG in alarmingly straightforward song mode on the macabre kraut-bossa cut “Distant Dreams Part Two” and of course the fan favorite “Hamburger Lady.” Originally compiled in 2004 for a CD release, \u003cem\u003eThe Taste Of TG\u003c\/em\u003e is now available on vinyl for the first time ever to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the band.
