The Desertshore Installation

The Desertshore Installation is a box set that was released by Throbbing Gristle. The 12-CDr set documents the recording sessions of the cover version of Nico's third studio album, Desertshore. These recordings were made as a document of TG´s Desertshore Installation.^[1] These sessions were open to the public and a short question and answer session is included in the recordings. Each session lasted for approximately 2 hours and there were 2 sessions per day, an afternoon and an evening session. The box set only had one pressing.

A number of jams recorded during the installation appear on Throbbing Gristle's tour-only album release The Third Mind Movements.
