Re/Search #6/7: Industrial Culture Handbook

In his study on Throbbing Gristle's third album, Drew Daniel points out that the Handbook included extensive reference sections, which allowed the devotees to absorb the history of the bands and "the network of industrial music and noise radiating outwards of it."^[1]

Following these copious leads, I dutifully feasted on the laundry list of subcultural touchstones that seemed to come with the territory of industrial fandom, a kind of anti-Parnassus in which Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy and Jim Jones rub shoulders with Aleister Crowley, William S. Burroughs and the Comte de Lautréamont.
