The demise of Throbbing Gristle engendered several projects, some of which were arguably as significant as T.G. in their range of influence and impact on electronic music. Genesis P-Orridge and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson went on to form Psychic TV, with Christopherson later forming Coil with his partner John Balance. Coil would continue to explore industrial music until their transition to acid-house in the early 90s, but the remaining two members of T.G. quickly progressed into dance music. Chris Carter and Cosey Fanni Tutti released "Exotica" in 1987, and songs like "Arcade" demonstrate their cold take on synthpop music that borders on EBM, with Cosey's erotic vocals swirling between post-industrial percussion and sharp, punchy synths.
