This emotional release from the remaining members of industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle began its incarnation in 2007 when the band re-formed for a series of dates at London's ICA. Interpreting Nico's classic 1970 album Desertshore in the only way TG could, the full lineup performed six two-hour sessions, with Genesis P-Orridge on vocals. But by 2010, after a couple of comeback shows, Genesis walked out, leaving Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti, and the late Peter Sleazy Christopherson to continue under the X-TG moniker. Sadly, in November 2010 and after only two shows together, Sleazy passed away. X-TG's Desertshore was Sleazy's project, and this release is a moving and personal tribute to him, as is The Final Report, which Cosey explained as a "signing off report" and a celebration of their time with Christopherson. While it takes a moment to get over the nagging unease over Genesis' absence (a very public fallout between the Psychic TV frontman and Chris Cosey ensued after the release was announced), this two-disc package starts strongly with "Janitor of Lunacy." Sung by Antony Hegarty, it proves that it was an inspired idea by Sleazy to use guest vocalists in place of Genesis. The use of Einstürzende Neubauten's Blixa Bargeld on the tracks "Abscheid"
