Throughout
his long illustrious career J.G.Thirlwell , aka Foetus,
has been anything but conventional. (He can't even stick to one musical
sobriquet; he requires several: Steroid Maximus, Clint Ruin, Wiseblood,
DJ OTEFSU, myriad Foetus hybrids, and the brand new Manorexia.) Seen as
a seminal and influential force behind that thing the kids call "industrial",
he has proved himself to be in fact a genre-defying and boundary-leaping
artist. Over the course of more than a dozen albums he has stretched from
yearning orchestral soundscapes, meticulously organised chaos,blistering
big band pastiche,crunching hard rock and even inventing stupefying collisions
of genres and forms with a raw emotion and irresistable musicality;an
accomplished remixer and producer,he's worked his magic on the likes of
NIN,Pantera, White Zombie, JSBX, Red Hot Chili Peppers,Coil and countless
others.His film 
work
include the score for the film adaptation of J.G.Ballard's "The Atrocity
Exhibition", as well as soundtracks on numerous films by underground
legend Richard Kern. JGT provided voiceovers and incidental music for
"MTV sports" for five seasons,and has even scored a couple of
station IDs for M2 now on the air.
