Godflesh and God and Techno Animal and The Bug and Ice and Sidewinder and Curse of the Golden Vampire and Final and some other stuff I'm sure.

Alex in SF, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Search: Techno Animal vs. Reality, Radio: Hades and Brotherhood of the Bomb if you like inaudible rapping with your noise, God Anatomy of Addiction, Godflesh Streetcleaner

Destroy: Some of the later Godflesh albums are really boring

Pretty classic, I'd argue. No doubt they are a bit monotonous, but I like the groove (or lack of groove) these two mine. Some of the recent Techno Animal stuff is just stunningly violent sounding. Great for annoying upstair neighbors and shredding speakers.

Alex in SF, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

what was that last godflesh album "us vs them" or something - nothing shittier ever heard

bob snoom, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Destroy! Message to Kevin Martin, DHR etc: GROW UP YOU WANKERS. Goosestepping angst for 40-going-on-14 year olds. Also KM looks like army guy from Spaced.

The Bug is all cringy wincy like phoebe philo. Redeemed by occasional substandard Anti Pop cameos.

Godflesh - Streetcleaner is scary genius

Techni Animal live is like being lifted up off the ground by the darkest bass lines around. The beat poetry only adds to the intensity

God was always a bit too weird for me... comments about Kevin Martin seem a bit off. He is a really nice bloke, or he was when I last spoke to him

Sonicred, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Search: GOD - _Possession_ (I think that's the name of it, the one with "Fucked" and "Hate Meditation" on it.) What an AMAZING album. My favorite Zorn-related recording (including the first Bungle album).

Dan Perry, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

That one's a good-un. I'm inadvertantly a fan of all that thanks to first getting into Godflesh, so I've got all sorts of Pathological-related releases kicking around. Possession is certainly particularly monstrous.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

A friend from high school bought it solely because he saw that John Zorn played sax on it. I remember when we put it on and bugged out at the grindcore. It was like Lard, only GOOD! (And with extra sax wails!)

I never got into Godflesh in the same way, although I bet if I heard them now I'd love them.

Dan Perry, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i think god are actually the overlooked element here, yes - sort of mining the same territory as godflesh but with jazz and maybe even funk elements. and monstrous, monstrous brass. "possession" won't steer you wrong, and i used to have some of the earlier stuff("consumed", i think it was) that was real nice, with k-mart's weird mantric vocals ranting on and on.

godflesh, right - search the self-titled ep (very overlooked, and very good), streetcleaner,slavestate (some crap, but "perfect skin" is A-GODDAMN-MAZING), merciless...

ice's "under the skin" is pretty overlooked, with some funk stirred into the pot, some great wah-wah from broadrick and a couple of tracks that almost show a can influence. or am i insane?

as for the meaty, beaty, big and bouncy part of the k-mart/jk equation, techno-animal vs. reality is probably a good place to start, less remedial beat butchery and more "musical" - the remixes are even tolerable, and i hate remixes these days. sidewinder sounds like they heard a panasonic album and decided they could do better, curse of the golden vampire was fairly disappointing. the bug was sort of trying to fit in with wordsound's paranoid, 'evil' hip-hop vibe. final is guitar-based ambient/isolationism. broadrick's lo-fibre label was anthologized a while back, so you can check out his attempts at broken beats and minimal techno, if you're interested. most people weren't. hmm, what else is missing here? sweet tooth... can't remember what they sound like. fall of because, the pre-godflesh band, was released by invisible or something and sounds unsurprisingly like early godflesh and head of david.

The God alb w/Zorn is gd, the Blind Idiot God alb w/Zorn is better, the Ground Zero alb w/ Zorn is best.

el wanko, Saturday, 16 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

This up for debate in my book. When I saw them (admittedly in shitty warehouse with crap sound in Oakland) I was a little less than impressed. I thought they would be much more intense and, well, loud. But that could have just been an off night and I've heard good things otherwise. Still I'd go see them again if they played out here (which will probably never happen).

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 February 2005 21:58 (nineteen years ago) link

I own the following:

God, Possession
Techno Animal, Re-Entry
Godflesh, In All Languages, Pure, Streetcleaner
The Bug, Pressure

All recommended. Not recommended: Brotherhood Of The Bomb, that other Ice album, the Curse Of The Golden Vampire discs.

I wish I still owned Godflesh's Selfless and Love And Hate In Dub.

I'm a little uncertain about the Jesu disc. Haven't gotten my copy in the mail yet, but I'm not sure Broadrick has much to say anymore, either.

pdf (Phil Freeman), Thursday, 3 February 2005 22:25 (nineteen years ago) link

The first Curse of the Golden Vampire disc is pretty good. The best God thing is the remix EP with the New Kingdom and Kevin Shields' remixes.

Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 3 February 2005 22:29 (nineteen years ago) link

I'm with you on the last point, PDF, it does seem to have run its course in general. With you on all the recommendations above! I think most of the AMG God reviews are mine, I can't remember...

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 3 February 2005 22:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Man, I wanna hear this album... really liked the 'Heart Ache' EP, but then again, I haven't heard all of Broadrick's various projects, so I wouldn't really have a clue if he's repeating himself or not. Yeah, there's that familiar Godflesh sound, but also parts that sound like Coil or Codeine or MBV or whatever. It's good!

i'm pretty much burnt out on him but he can still make good riffs.

eman (eman), Friday, 4 February 2005 16:13 (nineteen years ago) link

I am intensely loving both the Jesu LP and EP, especially the EP, this really is him at his best IMO - yes it's a nod to his Selfless era shoegaze metal, without the screaming and more epic sensibility. And a return to the Alesis SR-16 drum machine, on the EP anyway.

I'm not really in love with any of that Kevin Martin related stuff, but I have always loved Final, Sidewinder, etc.

Damn I love that man. Isolation has always been his gig, but does a song name like "Friends are Evil" approach self-parody?

Crunk with Christ, Sunday, 6 February 2005 11:24 (nineteen years ago) link

the jesu sounds interesting from what i've read, but i'm weary of how the vocal approach is described. how does that aspect compare to godflesh? also by Justin Broadrick is his raggacore whatever you want to call it project Tech Level 2 (split 12" on shockout) which is just as good as Martin's Bug, in my opinion, and much better than the sidewinder stuff.
i'll also defend the curse of the golden vampire discs. not great, sure, but both have something to offer. the newer one (mars destruction) is the sort of thing to put on when you just want an angry album but are wanting something electronic too. reminds me of that thread about electronic metal. an interesting, but half-assed feeling mutation of grind/jungle, without veering into the geeky splatter/idm noise thing.
techno animal: i hate the rapping on the newer stuff. give me re-entry any day though, the second disc is one of my proverbial desert island picks. i can think of few albums that come close to the mastery of the beat/texture balance that this one does. of related interest are the marco dub infection discs, compiled by martin, that have great liner notes about dub history.

deru, Sunday, 6 February 2005 14:06 (nineteen years ago) link

"Macro Dub Infection Vol One" is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. I'll try not to let that put me off Martin/Broadrick overall, I guess.

Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 6 February 2005 14:11 (nineteen years ago) link

i can't really defend the macro dub infection disc, i sold my copy quite some time ago, but i like the liner notes. if i remember the disc was full of bland sub-illbient 'dub' that was quite prevelent in those mid-nineties. what came out of that scene has alot of merit it hink though: The Bug, Badawi, Spectre.
also, i like the later godflesh 'love and hate in dub' which i don't think anyone's mentioned.

deru, Sunday, 6 February 2005 14:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Ice - "Under The Skin" is a good Martin/Broadrick record except for Kevin Martin's vocals. i think i still have the first Scorn around somewhere, Broadrick played on that as well.

eman (eman), Sunday, 6 February 2005 15:26 (nineteen years ago) link

The second Macro Dub Infection comp is miles better than the first one.

pdf (Phil Freeman), Sunday, 6 February 2005 16:12 (nineteen years ago) link

The vocal approach is pretty much the same as Selfless, except with a heavier ratio of the sustained "sung" lines, and much more sparse and understated in general. It's a good move.

Macro Dub II somehow took an eclectic assortment of artists and smushed them into a mid-90's illbient soup (although I liked mid-90's illbient, so that's not a putdown).

Macro Dub I was the real deal -- an astounding assortment of artists and styles, and one of my favourite comps of the 90's.

I've been listening to all the Bug "dancehall" stuff - Pressure, the Aktion Pak and Gun Disease EPs, and the 2CD Killing Sound set - for the last week or so. It just feels so good screeching and crashing into my skull on the early morning train ride into work.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 April 2006 13:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Godflesh, were, regrettably, never as weird as I wanted them to be. I heard "Streetcleaner" on the Earache "GRINDCRUSHER" compilation, and it was far and away the best track on the whole awful record, what with the martial drum machine and weird, effects-addled vox. I ended up listening to various tracks off Streetcleaner, Pure, and Messiah, but found myself underwhelmed. I was really wanting them to be more like their post-rock contemporaries (is it really so strange? Bark Psychosis began life as a Napalm Death cover band...) and less like a slightly updated reading of early Swans. That's what I'm trying to get at, in a nutshell: less "Filth," more "Soundtracks for the Blind."

Never heard much else from the JKB side of post-Napalm Death stuff, though I have an abiding love for Lull/Scorn, but Jesu totally slayed me the first time I heard "We All Falter." Rest of the album is only slightly less majestic.

Makeshift Swahili, Monday, 10 April 2006 14:42 (eighteen years ago) link

The Jesu albu is good, but the track thats 8minutes long and sounds like mid-period Sigur Ros sticks in the craw a tad. But the metal plus shoegaze stuff is great, a really obvious concept that no-one has yet properly exploited... not heard the new EP yet, allegedly its a big shift in direction or something???

I'm liking the Silver EP so far. Anyone who experiments with different sounds as much as Martin and Broadrick are bound to miss every once in a while, but it seems like they keep getting better with age.

two months pass...
the jesu album, to be honest, is something i find difficult to listen to: it's so airless and oppressive that it actually becomes quite an unsettling and discomfiting experience. that said, it also moved me in unexpected and powerful ways ... i think i'm just waiting for the right time/mood to listen to it again, but i'm not sure i want to think what that might be :o

the silver EP, however ... heard it for the first time today and it sounds like the music a) i was trying to make myself five or six years ago (and failing miserably), and b) i've been waiting half my life for someone else to make. absolutely astonishing; i can't get enough of it.

my awakening to metal/post-metal/etc is a relatively recent thing; as i've posted on other threads, it's entirely rooted in my love of slowdive and MBV et al all those years ago. i know absolutely sod all about godflesh or any of the other offshoots, but i'm intrigued: taking my love of "silver" as a starting point, what should i seek out next?

grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 3 July 2006 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link

the silver EP just seems easier to me - it's very pretty, almost comforting. The album, you're dead right, it's a demanding and suffocating thing, but I think it's really special like that - you kind of have to get inside of it. It is the most perfect driving music I know - it just systematically eliminates everything except itself from my perception.

Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Monday, 3 July 2006 22:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Grimly best Godlesh for you to start with might be Selfless. The 1st track especially. Thats the album i got into them with, I saw the review in either Melody maker, Raw or Kerrang and bought it from Our Price the day it came out.

Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Monday, 3 July 2006 22:31 (seventeen years ago) link

thanks, kerr: i shall do that.

grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 07:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Isis's first album sounds like how I always thought Godflesh should've sounded. Streetcleaner is pretty classic though.

latebloomer lives in a fucking castle that is so sweet (latebloomer), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 10:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Grimly, see if you can find the CD that has Selfless and the Merciless EP both on it. The EP's only four songs, but they're great, especially "Flowers."

Matthew OMalley (Matt-O), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 17:44 (seventeen years ago) link

so i bit the bullet and listened to the jesu album again today. it really is fucking outstanding, but CHRIST it hurts. it's the aural equivalent of sleep paralysis; heavy in such a suffocating and draining way. still, it is starting to cast an unholy spell over me. hurrah etc.

the EP just gets more and more awesome, though. what's the first EP (heart ache?) like?

doesn't really - the name is about the only thing they have in common. under the skin is more like a hybrid of godflesh and god, with a couple of longer tracks that actually get kind of funky. definitely worth hearing if you dig earlier god/flesh stuff.

Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Monday, 24 July 2006 14:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Under the Skin is one of my all time favorite albums. I just listened to it for the first time in a year last night, and it hit the same spot it always has. I read somewhere where someone described it as almost krautrock on a few songs, and that makes sense to me. For me it ranks up there with the Loop albums, Skullflower's IIIrd Gatekeeper, God's Anatomy of Addiction, and Techno Animal's Re-Entry. It's so worth seeking out. Don't be put off by the first few songs. It isn't greatness until "Skyscraper" and onward. I think emusic still has it for cheap, but I could be wrong. I haven't been there in a while.

The new remixed version of the Jesu - Jesu album, out on Pic Disk from Hydrahead is really great. Vocals are more upfront. I wouldn't be surprised if next year it gets a release on normal vinyl(probably on 5 colours too since it's HH) But if you can get the pic disk then do so.

Which Neurosis album would you most recommend? The one they had in stock was called 'The Eye Of Every Storm', and the cover-art was so good I nearly bought it (ahead of the two I did buy, mentioned elsewhere, which will do for the minute TYVM).

Silver is now AWESOME and really far more melodic and three-dimensional (the depth of the sound is astonishing) than I'd expected. There's really some substance behind this sound, something of almost infinite allure, which is feeding my curiosity no end.

jesu - 2xLP picture disc @ e-vinyl is 24,90 euros + postage.

Battle Of Mice / Jesu - Split CD (Robotic Empire)
$11.99
Several years in the making, the long-awaited JESU / BATTLE OF MICE split is finally available. Each band has two exclusive, lengthy tracks on this limited edition release. JESU, comprised of the cult-followed Justin K. Broadrick, showcases "Clear Stream" and "Falling From Grace", two pieces towards the darker end of the spectrum he’s created under the JESU moniker. BATTLE OF MICE contribute the two most sinister songs they’ve recorded, "The Bishop" and "Yellow & Black". Heavier than the material found on their "A Day Of Nights" debut yet more dynamic overall, these two final (?) tracks from BATTLE OF MICE compliment the JESU material well. While both bands utilize traditional "heavy" music instruments, they are also unified by usage of keys, atmospherics, and general unique elements thrown in to vary it all. This CD is limited to a one time pressing of 2000 copies and comes housed in a "mini gatefold" CD jacket.

I ordered the vinyl version. Which you can get links to if you follow that link i posted. There's several colour variations.

The Greymachine disc (Broadrick, Diarmuid Dalton, Dave Cochrane and Aaron Turner) is really, really good. Super heavy in the vein of Ice's Under the Skin.

unperson, Monday, 10 August 2009 02:21 (fourteen years ago) link

greymachine are really good. i mentioned that in the metal thread but no one seemed to share my enthusiasm.

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 10 August 2009 15:02 (fourteen years ago) link

Anything in the vein of Under the Skin sounds awesome.

Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 15:31 (fourteen years ago) link

Both the new Jesu and Greymachine leave me cold. The first is dull, and - for me - too slow to build. The later is just not my bag at all - I've yet to like any music associated with Aaron Turner. Too red-lined, hate the vocals, a touch samey.

However, I absolutely love the White Static Demon album.

EZ Snappin, Monday, 10 August 2009 15:46 (fourteen years ago) link

Listening to the samples on the Aquarius website and the music sounds great (Ice comparisons totally make sense) but the vocals are pretty annoying. It's hard to tell how much of them there are though.

Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:10 (fourteen years ago) link

Bass sounds awesome.

Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:12 (fourteen years ago) link

the bass does sound awesome. who is the bassist for this? i think that their contributions and aaron turner's really add a pulse to this album. "wasted" has such an awesome groove to it.

borntohula, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:28 (fourteen years ago) link

The bassist is Diarmuid Dalton, the drummer is Dave Cochrane. It is Jesu plus Aaron Turner.

EZ Snappin, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:34 (fourteen years ago) link

Really Cochrane's a bassist?

Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:45 (fourteen years ago) link

Or rather does Cochrane really play drums? I thought he was a bassist.

Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:46 (fourteen years ago) link

He's the bassist on Under The Skin, for example.

Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:46 (fourteen years ago) link

He was also the bassist in God (one of 'em). I didn't know who played what on this disc 'cause I don't have a real copy, just a promo; at one point I had heard that Broadrick was the drummer, though.

unperson, Monday, 10 August 2009 17:59 (fourteen years ago) link

All I have's the promo so just bad assumptions from me (Alton was on bass last I saw Jesu).

EZ Snappin, Monday, 10 August 2009 18:03 (fourteen years ago) link

According to discogs it's a Broadrick on drums and a drum machine, two bassists (Cochrane and Dalton), Broadrick (again) and Turner on guitars and vocals.

Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 18:04 (fourteen years ago) link

That's discogs though so anything could really be going back there.

Alex in SF, Monday, 10 August 2009 18:06 (fourteen years ago) link

Two bassists would explain how thick it sounds.

This is really good, but it would be so much better with Broadrick on guitar. And even just two tracks with Kevin Martin would have made it a total classic for me. Still a really nice album, though. It really is a bit like listening to some lost Ice album.

At the turn of the New Year, I signed a deal with Ghostly International to develop a new project - Pale Sketcher. Pale Sketcher is intended as a vehicle for me to explore, exclusively and in more detail, the 'electronica' side of jesu.
It occurred to me during the writing of the last Jesu EP 'Opiate Sun' in early 2009, that Jesu, first and foremost, was intended to be a guitar oriented project. The 'electronica' side of Jesu was just an inevitable direction for me, but never satisfied with this battle between guitars and electronica with Jesu, I decided to separate the two directions - Jesu, now, and for the forseeable future, being guitar based exclusively, with Pale Sketcher being the project where I can focus and develop further, the Jesu 'electronica' sound, without need for further fusion or compromise.

Ghostly International saw sense in the concept for this project, when I touched upon this direction with my remix of School Of Seven Bells for Ghostly.

So, forthcoming on Ghostly Intl in July 2010, is, on both CD and digital (vinyl TBA) the entry release into the Pale Sketcher project - the entire out of print Jesu release 'Pale Sketches' demixed by Pale Sketcher! Two further remixes, one by King Midas Sound and one from Tower Of Light, will accompany the release, formats TBA.

An extract of 'Plans That Fade (Faded Dub)' from 'Pale Sketches Demixed' can be heard on the release page for the forthcoming Ghostly Intl compilation 'Ghostly By Night', to be released April 13th 2010. Please go here -

Jesu full length LP 3 still in demo stage. Hoping for recording to begin in August 2010, this new LP will be released through Caldo Verde.

Yep. The Streetcleaner one has a marked improvement in sound overall and the demos are interesting and you've got good notes by my man Jon Selzer.

Duran (Doran), Sunday, 6 June 2010 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link

The Greymachine disc (Broadrick, Diarmuid Dalton, Dave Cochrane and Aaron Turner) is really, really good. Super heavy in the vein of Ice's Under the Skin.

Dug this out today and it's sounding very good still. I have it on cheap earbuds at the office -- hardly any bass coming through in the mix, which means it basically sounds like a black metal album. Interesting!

http://jesu.bandcamp.com/album/jesu-picture-disc-mix-unreleased-original-vision

This is the master that was NOT used for what became the Picture Disc Mix, this was intended to be the master, but was shelved last minute; this master was intentionally sampled at a higher rate, so as to achieve a 'pop' sound / production, unlike the mix to be found on the 'actual' jesu Self Titled, a move which would be an absolute travesty for some! And a move that was decided against at the last minute, so the master was resampled back to the original pitch and sent to be pressed as the Picture Disc. So, this master is unreleased, and available here for the first time, the 'actual' Picture Disc master, is also available here at Bandcamp.

The Picture Disc of the Self Titled Jesu album, was remixed entirely for the LTD ED Picture Disc version (1000 copies), released in 2006. An Alternative mix with quite significant differences to the original album mix; the concept was to remix it more 'cleanly', due to the original mix containing a lot of distortion. There are still clicks, etc in this mix though due to the nature of the original recording. Here, the album is now remastered in 2012, since the original Picture Disc master was intentionally mastered flat.

The catalyst for this entire remix of the album was the pressing plant who were to cut and press the picture disc - with the original master of the S/T, they claimed the original was to max'ed out and distorted to be cut to an picture disc! I was, at the time, intrigued by the concept of a cleaner, and even 'poppier' mix of this album, anyway, so set about cleaning the the thing up. Hence the re-sampled higher speed version; attempting to go even further with this 'pop' concept.
For the record, my personal favourite mix of this album IS the original mix, which is known, universally, as the debut jesu album 'S/T', the mix that made it to CD/Vinyl, etc, etc.

Justin K Broadrick. May 2012.

i have the pic disk and its great but apparently this is the "pop" version that should have been on the pic disk. So i think its worth $7 if its as good as the pic disk version (the only pic disk i have that sounds awesome btw)

fucking hell how good is re-entry by techno animal ?
i broke out in excitement sweats during the final track on disc 1 when listening at a decent wall shaking level earlier today.
no remastering needed, it still sounds insanely good.
i picked up the follow up album, the brotherhood of the bomb years ago and left it unloved due to not feeling the hip hop vocals.
listening again today, i still prefer the vocal free tracks, and it's not in the same league as re-entry, but still, there are moments that are incredibly thrilling.
ooh, and now i think of it i think i have some jk flesh ep (a freebie from years ago) hidden in my archive.

i'm checking out the two jesu releases from last year and they're kinda weird? broadrick really exploring vocal loops a la "comforter" from every day i get closer to the light from which i came

to follow up on this: terminus is jesu-by-the-numbers with a few weird flourishes. if you want to hear a jesu record, it is one. but the never ep finds the jesu sound straying into... extremely processed technopop???? it rules

and this song sorta splits the difference between the usual jesu sound and the vocal cut-up electropop in the above song and it sounds so good. i would like for justin broadrick to release an entire album that sounds like these two songs

Really getting into Alone, have listened several times in the last few days. Hook is very 1979?

and the rest of terminus has pretty much grown on me already. great, stark slowcore record basically

The Greymachine disc (Broadrick, Diarmuid Dalton, Dave Cochrane and Aaron Turner) is really, really good. Super heavy in the vein of Ice's Under the Skin.

greymachine are really good. i mentioned that in the metal thread but no one seemed to share my enthusiasm.

no mention so far of the KM + JB collaboration from a couple of years ago under the Zonal moniker.
deep drones, and words by moor mother.
heavy stuff.

That record is great, mark e, though sometimes I have to skip it when it comes on shuffle— very intense! But that's Camae's way.

only a few singles from the early '00s (plus an EP he just released last year) but it's all good imo

wow no one was joking about that greymachine album, truly malevolent energy

I nommed the greymachine in that year's metal poll iirc and not many of us voted for it?

Had to do a decent length of run on the car today so took it with me and it's maybe better than I remember it being. Wasted in particular is immense.

Three years ago or so (pre-COVID) I had a brief exchange with Martin about putting together a CD box set gathering up all the God material. I think it probably would have been around five CDs, maybe six, but the rights would be a giant pain in the ass (multiple labels, many of which don't exist anymore) to negotiate and he didn't feel like it. Oh, well...

Picked up the digital copy of Re-Entry from Bandcamp. I still have my original CDs somewhere in a dusty Case Logic. I hope I didn't dispense with the iconic original art. I forgot how great this album is. I don't have a record player, but I'm tempted to by the 4LP set and the damn t-shirt.

beard papa, Thursday, 6 July 2023 17:14 (nine months ago) link

Listening to it got me listened to Ice's Under the Skin which I would kill for a remaster/reissue of. I would also love God's Possession and Anatomy of Addiction to remastered and released.

I would also love God's Possession and Anatomy of Addiction to remastered and released.

I talked to Martin a few years ago about doing a God box but he wasn't interested. Too much hassle negotiating the rights, for too little reward.

but also fuck you (unperson), Thursday, 6 July 2023 18:33 (nine months ago) link

Yeah I was talking to him last year and he was firmly pushing the 'looking forward, never back' line.

Loco is the album with the most room for remastering I think but I'm not sure how good the original tapes are.

Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Thursday, 6 July 2023 19:59 (nine months ago) link

i have the orig cds and love the whole sound as per post i made a few years ago.
do i really need the remastered edition ?

Not as excited for that one. A few good songs on it, I guess.

Yeah, I don't love it myself. I really hope they reissue Ice's Under the Skin (and Bad Blood, I guess).
