Originally released in October 1979, TG's fourth LP leans more towards electronic and sequenced sounds and sheds a lot of the murky industrial mire of their earlier albums. The general sound is grainy, still far from top-notch, such is the character of the group. Tracks like the title track and 'Hot On The Heels Of Love' are almost club friendly, the latter track serving as a preview to future TG splinter group Chris & Cosey's early material. Other tracks like 'Walkabout' and 'Persuasion' display an eerie primitive futurism that the band seemed to be leaning towards in their later years until their disbanding in 1981.

Besides "Heathen Earth" and "2nd Annual Report" one of the three basic TG-albums on Industrial Records. Contains many of their all-time greats as "Convincing People" and "Hot of the heels of love". "20 Jazz Funk Greats" is also remarkable as it is very good produced. Very good starting point into classic industrial.
