Throbbing Gristle’s “Hamburger Lady”is uncomfortable to listen to but never piercing or cacophonous, but it’s hard to purge the nauseous feeling it leaves in the pit of your stomach. It’s maybe the most horrifying thing I, and probably you, have ever heard
"The standout moment on the group’s D.O.A.: The Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle is a masterpiece of blood-curdling sonic manipulation. .the rise and fall of wheezing distortion, the steady pulse that mimics both a heartbeat and the stalking of a violent shadow in
the .. effects-masked disembodied vocal wails, &Genesis P-Orridge’s matter-of-fact description of a burn victim: “She’s dying,
She is burned from the waist up, On her arm” The lyrical content of the song was written by mail artist Blaster Al Ackerman,taken from one of his letters

"Jacklin certainly didn’t draw the school authorities’ attention to TG’s inextricable links to Coum Transmissions, the art/performance collective famously dubbed “wreckers of civilisation” by a Tory MP after the Prostitution exhibition at the ICA four years previously."
"My friend the screenwriter Nick Vivian , then 15, was among the boarders in the audience. His belief that the event was “life-changing” is borne out by the extraordinary scenes in the film TG made of the gig"
"While some students responded well, and there were wolf-whistles (complimentary) for Fanni Tutti and (derisory) for P.Orridge, others were horrified; at one stage a group started singing Blake’s Jerusalem as a protest against what they were seeing and hearing."

Gareth Thomas says: "The response was of combination of innocence, disorientation, aloofness, the classic confrontational punk feedback loop of the time – and shock. That shock was ramped up when they began projecting Bunuel-esque scenes of bloody
operations – including an animal castration made to look like a human one –on to the big screen behind them. Never great at the sight of blood, I felt so queasy I had to leave the hall for five minutes to get some fresh air. My friend Tim said he heard 4 thumps, one after another
. It was the sound of schoolkids passing out and hitting the deck."
