The Second Annual Report

Album by Throbbing Gristle

The Second Annual Report is the debut studio album by English industrial music group Throbbing Gristle, released in 1977. Marked by abrasive tape manipulation, found sounds, confrontational vocal delivery and repetitive electronic rhythms, the album articulated a stark, experimental sound that contributed to the emergence of industrial music and positioned the group as a formative force in late 1970s avant-garde electronics.
First released: 1977
