The Second Annual Report

Fetish would press the album twice more after the original Industrial Records master plates were destroyed.

[citation needed] Michael Bonner of Uncut described the album as "a dystopian churn of smoke and asbestos dust" and "queerly hypnotic".

[7] The Vinyl Factory's Anton Spice acknowledged the role of the album with its provocative subject matter in establishing Throbbing Gristle's reputation as transgressive figures in underground electronic music.

[9] The 12" 180gm vinyl LP comprises a recording of Throbbing Gristle's live performance at La Villette in Paris on 6 June 2008, which was a reinterpretation of their original album, and is limited to 777 copies.

Accompanying the packaged vinyl is a special "black" extended CD version, which includes extra tracks that would not fit on the LP format.
