Derek Jarman: Throbbing Gristle “TG Psychic Rally in Heaven”

The last of my week of Derek Jarman music videos. Jarman made this video for Throbbing Gristle’s “TG Psychic Rally in Heaven” in 1981. Fair warning, it’s quite violent and explicit in language & content.
I think Jarman’s broken flashes of images complement TG’s challenging, avant-garde music. Peter Christopherson, who played what we could call the percussion for the band, later went on to form the band Coil, which Jarman employed for soundtracks to many of his films.
