FOETUS – LIMB – DELUXE DOUBLE DISC CD/DVD RELEASED

The long awaited Foetus deluxe CD + DVD release LIMB is now available on Ectopic Ents,
distributed exclusively at the online shoppe. http://www.foetus.org/shop

LIMB is an archival release of experimental, instrumental and minimal compositions recorded

from 1980-1983, from the early days of Foetus and pre-Foetus. Though the material is
largely unreleased, some of the pieces have been previously released on the
compilation albums by Coil and United Dairies. Some were excavated and some of it
was reconstructed or re-edited from compositions on cassette. One piece is
constructed from an organ part written in 1982, which JG took the liberty of
finishing in 2008. These pieces were made before the introduction of MIDI and
sampling technology. It shows the lineage and genesis of some of the methods that JG
is working in today.

LIMB is released as a double disc package. The music disc contains 12 tracks
at 50+ minutes with an additional 20 minute bonus mp3 track.

On the second disc, director Clement Tuffreau kindly allowed Ectopic Ents to include his 2005
documentary about JG Thirlwell, NYC FOETUS, with this package. The eighty minute
film features interviews with JG Thirlwell, Matt Johnson (the The), Alex Hacke (Einsturzende
Neubauten), Michael Gira, Richard Kern, Lydia Lunch, Martin Bisi and Elysian Fields
along with a lot of never before seen footage of Foetus, Steroid Maximus, Manorexia
and more. There is also with 45 minutes of bonus extras, comprised of Steroid
Maximus 18 piece ensemble live in France, Foetus live in Hannover, Manorexia live at
The Stone NYC and a snippet of JG’s League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots
commission at 3 Legged Dog in NYC. The film is subtitled in French .

You can see a trailer for the documentary here:

This limited deluxe package also contains a 48 page perfect bound book with minimal designs
by JGT (all in his signature red, white, gray and black palette).
This is all held in an attractive sturdy plastic slipcase printed with another of JG’s designs.
