CHRIS CARTER, who recently released his first solo album release in 17 years – the acclaimed
Chemistry Lessons Volume One – has released the first track from his forthcoming solo box set of early work,
Miscellany. Pre-order

Miscellany will collate remastered (and mastered for the first time) albums and will be available as a limited run of 1000 units. The box set includes six pieces of vinyl with a 24-page 12” sized booklet featuring rare and unseen images, hand-drawn synthesiser schematics and ephemera from Chris Carter’s archive. Both
Disobedient and
Small Moon will be available here for the first time on vinyl. The CD box set will contain 4-CDs and a 24-page booklet.
Each edition will contain the following solo albums:

As a founding member of Throbbing Gristle alongside Cosey Fanni Tutti, Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Chris Carter has had a significant role in the development of electronic music – a journey which has continued through his releases as one half of Chris & Cosey, Carter Tutti and a third of Carter Tutti Void, as well as with his own solo and collaborative releases.
He is also credited with the invention and production of ground-breaking electronics – from the legendary Gristleizer self-built effects unit through to the Dirty Carter Experimental Sound Generating Instrument, the sold-out
TG One Eurorack module (designed with Tiptop Audio, these modules can be heard during Carter’s set at a recent
Rough Trade event) and the
Future Sound Systems Gristleizermodules – Carter has created the means to make sounds as well as making the sounds themselves.
