About
D.o.A: The Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle is the second studio album by English industrial band Throbbing Gristle. It was released in 1978 by their Industrial Records label. The first 1,000 copies of the album were enclosed with a card calendar with color photos of a little girl on a bed. Another pressing of 1,000 copies was recut with false track markers (the "bands" visible on a vinyl disc) to give the appearance of having fifteen tracks of exactly equal length and a short sixteenth track; the official TG discography called this pressing the "Structuralist Spirals" edition. The band's debut single "United", which had garnered some popularity due to its relatively accessible style, was included on the album on fast forward, reducing its running time from 4:03 to sixteen second. Later reissues of the album omit the inset and card calendar due to its resemblance to child pornography. The Montreal Star wrote that the album "invites comparisons to Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music, Eno's obscene phone calls and the sound your refrigerator makes when it short-circuit." Writing for Pitchfork, Drew Daniel of Matmos described the album as "a nauseating masterpiece, and an essential recording", noting "Hamburger Lady" as "probably Throbbing Gristle's greatest song". AllMusic stated that the album "is nearly as harsh and uncompromising as The Second Annual Report," though "much more stylistically varied...each of the 13 tracks is distinct, ranging from captured conversations to thoroughly composed creation." The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Chris Carter recalled in the book that "DoA showcased some of our strongest work and established the course we would head in." Genesis P-Orridge – vocal, bass guitar, violin, effects (track A6), production (tracks A1–A3, A5, B1, B4, B6 and B7) Cosey Fanni Tutti – guitar, effect, tape, production (tracks A1–A3, A5, B1, B4, B6 and B7) Chris Carter – synthesizer, electronic, tape, production (tracks A1–A3, A5, B1, B4, B6 and B7) .
