Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti, one half of the legendary industrial quartet Throbbing Gristle, had a significant number of releases and different projects, including CTI (Creative Technology Institute). The first two albums under CTI, Elemental 7 and European Rendezvous were released in 1984 with each album being accompanied by a long-form video release on Cabaret Voltaire’s Doublevision label.
'The visuals were shot entirely on domestic VHS equipment, including 90% of the special effects. It was then transferred to Umatic for editing and post production. "Elemental 7" was shot in 1982 and not edited to its final form until September 1983. The soundtracks were recorded at Studio 47 in 1982 and completed for release in September 1983. The quality and content of this recording cannot and should not be compared with conventional, commercial recordings.'
