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???

To be fair, though, he is hardly alone -- Isis were veering towards that realm some time back, Red Sparowes...

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?

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 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

thanks, kerr: i shall do that.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 07:15 (nineteen years ago)

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 (nineteen years ago)

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."

I still haven't heard the first Ice album. But i really like Bad Blood!
how does it compare with the first one?

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

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?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 21:56 (nineteen years ago)

More like the 1st album.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 22:15 (nineteen years ago)

I still haven't heard the first Ice album. But i really like Bad Blood! how does it compare with the first one?

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.

two weeks pass...

Aquarius have 50 of the S/T Jesu pic disks and Hydrahead are due to start selling the non pre-order packages on the 25th I think.

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

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.

Godflesh is my next 'discovery' project. Jesu's Silver is magnificent, and HMV were stocking Neurosis and Isis as well in case I need to further my voyage into art-metal. Happy days.

― Scourage (Haberdager), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

Get all the Isis, Neurosis and Godflesh. You won't be disappointed!!!

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. The quality is the best i've heard on a pic disk. As good as normal vinyl i'd say.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:14 (nineteen years ago)

Can a mod add Jesu to the thread title to make searches easier? I'm sure alex wouldn't mind.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:15 (nineteen years ago)

Done.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:17 (nineteen years ago)

Thank you Ned.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:19 (nineteen years ago)

Hehe I should've said add "Final" in there too. I haven't heard them yet. I should maybe check out their 2 cd on Neurot sometime.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:20 (nineteen years ago)

Final are fantastic, to be sure...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:21 (nineteen years ago)

The new remixed version of the Jesu - Jesu album

o rly? remixed in what way? ie so it sounds like it was actually recorded using some form of high-fidelity equipment, or inna "oceanic remixes" stylee?

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:23 (nineteen years ago)

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.

― Scourage (Haberdager), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:35 (nineteen years ago)

Louis> Through Silver In Blood. Eye Of Every Storm is the last album and is good too.

Grimly ~~y rnoiwontfuckingsayit~~ It sounds great. Vocals are far more up front and the whole thing does sound great.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:39 (nineteen years ago)

"the eye of every storm" is actually the only full neurosis album i own, but FUCK ME does it rock. i couldn't recommend it enough. and louis, i know exactly what you mean about "silver": it really does keep unfolding into new levels of brilliance.

kerr: wow. that sounds fucking awesome. i shall check it out.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:44 (nineteen years ago)

I think you can still get the Pic Disk over at e-vinyl.com unless you wanna try ebay.
Hydrahead are sold out.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:46 (nineteen years ago)

tits. i shall investigate over a slightly longer period than i had originally bargained for.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:48 (nineteen years ago)

Listening to good shoegaze guitar is like biting into a sandwich which contains no less than thirty-five different types of fine-cut salami. Listening to good METALGAZE guitar is like biting into the same sandwich, toasted with mozzarella.

― Scourage (Haberdager), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:48 (nineteen years ago)

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

Ebay will be much higher. Avalanche had the original Conspiracy records double vinyl version when it came out, £19.99 they wanted for it.
I got mine cheaper than that from Conspiracy and it was on red vinyl too.

So e-vinyl is probably your cheapest bet.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 22:52 (nineteen years ago)

Hehe I should've said add "Final" in there too.

also Fall Of Because

"Tired Of Me" on the jesu album would make the ULTIMATE goth wedding song.

man, that doesn't sound like an endorsement. but i'm a grouch hatin' on silver and all.

― GOD PUNCH TO HAWKWIND (yournullfame), Thursday, 24 August 2006 02:53 (nineteen years ago)

i don't think i need a remixed jesu album. i never really listened to the remixed isis stuff. didn't do anything for me. i like remixed godflesh stuff though.

― scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 24 August 2006 03:32 (nineteen years ago)

The Bug's album has four incredible ragga tracks and 6 crap dubby ones. HAven't heard enough of his other projects to comment. The Bug was great when I saw him live. Really good!

― wogan lenin (dog latin), Thursday, 24 August 2006 10:53 (nineteen years ago)

I hope its not too long until theres a new Jesu album.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 24 August 2006 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

justin broadrick has a post on his blog from march 06 where he mentions that recording had begun on album #2.

― drone/a/sore (drone/a/sore), Friday, 25 August 2006 04:22 (nineteen years ago)

Wahey!!! LIKE RAAAAAAATS!!!

Ned, dismiss me all ya like but if it weren't for yer Allmusic review I probably wouldn't be listening to this album right now. Get in!

Boo Radley's finest hour safely purchased as well, for a combined total of under 14 quid. Great day!

― Scourage (Haberdager), Saturday, 26 August 2006 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

A split 12" EP with Eluvium is also being mixed,limited to 4,000 copies, it will be released jointly through Hydra Head and Temporary Residence who will have 2,000 copies each.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 8 September 2006 22:11 (nineteen years ago)

ok you know what, the s/t album is STILL fucking great, and Conqueror is a pretty hope-instilling title for a Justin Broaderick rekkid

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Friday, 8 September 2006 22:28 (nineteen years ago)

The new Bug song with Flowdan is pretty nice.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 8 September 2006 22:36 (nineteen years ago)

what happened to g. christian green, the old bassist? i remember reading a godflesh article years ago and it said his favorite band was the beach boys

― señor citizen (eman), Friday, 8 September 2006 22:49 (nineteen years ago)

Conqueror is a pretty hope-instilling title for a Justin Broaderick rekkid

Yes and yes again.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 8 September 2006 22:57 (nineteen years ago)

Green put out an album as Vitriol that i recall being pretty okay.

― Ghost Bear Junior High Attendance Party (Ghost Bear Junior High Attenda), Saturday, 9 September 2006 00:46 (nineteen years ago)

Also a solo album on Neurot, but I don't recall much about it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 9 September 2006 00:47 (nineteen years ago)

I still can't get over the fact that people really like Techno Animal.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Saturday, 9 September 2006 00:49 (nineteen years ago)

well, get over it. pussy.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 9 September 2006 00:57 (nineteen years ago)

Okay, maybe I'll go listen to some Marc Anthony.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Saturday, 9 September 2006 00:59 (nineteen years ago)

Vitriol was solo and on Neurot. same album?

― Ghost Bear Junior High Attendance Party (Ghost Bear Junior High Attenda), Saturday, 9 September 2006 02:13 (nineteen years ago)

i think i still have that vitriol album. i liked it okay, but i never played it that much.

Cracking show but I think the date is wrong - I'm pretty sure this was supporting Boss Hog with Gallon Drunk as openers, which the internet tells me was the 2nd and not 7th.

― Overtoun House windows (aldo), Thursday, 5 December 2024 09:48 (one year ago)

Weird, the same guy has the full GD show from the same date (marked as 7th) but some footage of Boss Hog from the same position marked as 2nd.

― Overtoun House windows (aldo), Thursday, 5 December 2024 09:56 (one year ago)

Perhaps he's going off some ancient handwritten VHS tape label and is mistaking twos for sevens

― Maresn3st, Thursday, 5 December 2024 10:39 (one year ago)

Could be.
