Stolen Gear - Help Needed

via Jeremy of MODEL WORKER: "This past weekend my bands practice space (in chicago) was broken into and A LOT of gear was stolen. Unsurprisingly a number of these items you have inadvertently helped us track down with your blog.

A few items here are not synths but I'm going to include them anyways as they were part
of this heist. I'm just hoping people can keep their eyes open and just maybe help some of these items we spent so much time acquiring, repairing and recording, find their way back to us."

If you can help in any way, contact Jeremy at gallo75 *at* gmail.com

Gristleism now available for pre-order in USA from Forced Exposure

"Industrial Records Ltd. are pleased to announce the birth of GRISTLEISM, the newest member of the Throbbing Gristle family. Bastard offspring of now-famous ambient loop player the Buddha Machine, GRISTLEISM is part industrial sound machine, part noise instrument. Featuring 13 original and uncompromising loops, GRISTLEISM delivers a mix of signature TG experimental noise, industrial drone, and classic melodies and rhythms. Available in three colors -- black, chrome and red -- the palm-sized unit (size: w67mm x h69mm x d35mm) features a built-in speaker, volume control, pitch-shift control and loop selector switch. Note: GRISTLEISM does not feature an audio output socket or a DC power input socket. GRISTLEISM features more loops and almost twice the frequency range of the Buddha Machine. GRISTLEISM is powered by two AA batteries and is the world's first and only portable TG aural exciter! GRISTLEISM was born from a collaboration between Industrial Records, Throbbing Gristle and Christiaan Virant (the creator of the original FM3 Buddha Machines) and is packaged in an exquisite "Chinese paper-cut" wrapping, featuring a repeating TG logo pattern, foil embossing and UV ink."
