The long awaited Foetus deluxe CD + DVD release LIMB is now available on Ectopic Ents, distributed exclusively at the online shoppe. Foetus

LIMB is an archival release of experimental, instrumental and minimal compositions recorded from 1980-1983, from the early days of Foetus and pre-Foetus. Though the material is largely unreleased, some of the pieces have been previously released on the compilation albums by Coil and United Dairies. Some were excavated and some of it was reconstructed or re-edited from compositions on cassette. One piece is constructed from an organ part written in 1982, which JG took the liberty of finishing in 2008. These pieces were made before the introduction of MIDI and sampling technology. It shows the lineage and genesis of some of the methods that JG is working in today.

LIMB is released as a double disc package. The music disc contains 12 tracks at 50+ minutes with an additional 20 minute bonus mp3 track.

On the second disc, director Clement Tuffreau kindly allowed Ectopic Ents to include his 2005 documentary about JG Thirlwell, NYC FOETUS, with this package. The eighty minute film features interviews with JG Thirlwell, Matt Johnson (the The), Alex Hacke (Einsturzende Neubauten), Michael Gira, Richard Kern, Lydia Lunch, Martin Bisi and Elysian Fields along with a lot of never before seen footage of Foetus, Steroid Maximus, Manorexia and more.
