Throbbing Gristle @ Tramway, 17 Jun

It seems appropriate that Throbbing Gristle's first visit to Scotland is supported by Tramway: a post-industrial warehouse, it provides the perfect backdrop to Genesis P. Orridge's muscular experiments with electronica. The first half hour is inauspicious. The improvised lap-top set floats a generic dark ambience over Cerith Wyn Evans' inscrutable images, with band seeming unengaged with the audience or the material. Evans' film - a series of distressed stills - is incoherent while the music's menace never focuses the latent intensity. The greatest hits set, however, recalls the band's dynamic past, racing through a series of bleak, brutal crowd-pleasers.

Using modern technology to recreate harsh, raw rhythms, they punish the enthusiastic audience with a still disturbing Persuasion and militaristic romp Discipline, before disappearing without an encore. Despite their provocative reputation, the show feels inclusive, a reminder of their sharp edge that celebrates the punk aesthetic of these early-adopters of sampled aggression.
