Godflesh, God, Techno Animal, Jesu etc (S&D/CoD)

Whatever happened to the Pale Sketcher record?

I dunno, but Pale Sketcher is a horrific band name so...

Pale Sketcher record is okay. i'm going to need to spend more time with it.

also, uh, I FORGOT HOW MUCH 'POSSESSION' IS LIKE THE BEST ALBUM EVER.

I saw a used copy of Symbiotics on CD for $40 today. Is it getting this much? The far, far, far more legit record store just down the street is selling a VINYL copy of it for $20, and I got mine for $12 or whatever.

What say folks of The Sidewinder record?

No idea, but I was actually going to revive this thread today to say that Selfless sounded incredible this morning with the windows down, 85 degree swampy morning heat, on the drive to the office.

xp I remember it being a more snippety sounding Re-Entry-era Techno Animal record, but it's been a couple of years since I put it on.

So wait this Blood of Heroes CD has been out for almost a year according to Amazon???!

Yeah, it's been out since like May of last year, I think. I reviewed it (and the remix album, which is OK) on BurningAmbulance.com the other day.

Yeah that's where I saw it. This has to be one of the least publicized Broadrick things ever (although I guess this is a pretty obscure list of collaborators minus Laswell.)

It's interesting from you review it sounds like this is revisiting the second Ice album (whereas the Greymachine record was all about the first one.)

Okay this is pretty great. Kinda can't believe a record no one has heard has a remix record?!?!

New Pale Sketcher much better than the first Pale Sketcher.

Well the one I have, which is the Jesu Demixed thing.

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.

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)

right about to start playing this

my godddd, 'demodex invasion' off 're-entry' bloody brings it, doesn't it

that's probably not in the correct order. Been hoping some live material by the band would appear for a while. Then Russ Smith posted a track to facebook I think.

& main reason I was looking on this thread was to look up lps by Godflesh since Earache are having a sale with 2cd versions of Streetcleaner and Songs of Love and Hate for £6.66 a pop. I don't really have any Godflesh and I knew Justin from gigs way way back in Head of David days etc.

or that might even be 2 different gigs and me be too tired to recognise it

oh fuck me this year's jesu record is gorgeous isn't it (based on opening track)

best since Conqueror

I *liked* Infinity, yknow

i liked them all but its still their best since Conqueror

it's gotten to the point where I will cop any Jesu EP and ignore any Jesu LP ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You freak

I really like the one with the lighthouse on the cover where Jarboe sings

the latest lp was the best since the 2nd one

Yay: there's a new Jesu album in the works.

Uh: ...it's a collaboration with Sun Kil Moon

https://twitter.com/JKBroadrick/status/592653468768186368

Wasn't that long ago that Sun Kil Moon involvement would inspire excitement rather than caution

you know what's super fucking good? that last jesu album (no sun kil moon)

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.

ha, found it : 'nothing is free' by jk flesh, which i believe was a digital freebie.
ok, its not even that loud and my joggers are flapping in the bass noise.

Funnily enough I listened to Re-Entry for the first time yesterday.

If someone had told me it basically sounded like an O'Rang album I probably would have checked it out years and years and years ago.

wait have y’all heard the anatomy of addiction? it freakin rules

love that record

also New Kingdom remixes "Gold Teeth" on Appeal to Human Greed

Amazing record, I saw them in London around this time, with Bark Psychosis and they were astonishing, so much crazy loud and overlaid dissonance that I stared hearing choirs of angels and all sorts.

i think i've bumped every godflesh-related thread in the past week but imo there should be more talk about jk flesh on this page

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE3DySx6y_E

feel like i made a mistake taking eight years to hear this

i only have a freebie digital ep thing that jk flesh released a while back.

https://jkflesh.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-is-free

not an easy listen.
but damn when in the mood it hits the spot, and seriousy rattles the walls.

huh, I somehow missed that one! I’ve checked out most of the JK Flesh, etc. releases in recent years

have v.much enjoyed your recent godflesh posts BN

has left me keen to revisit the last two LPs - got really into Post Self at the time but haven't listened for a while

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

holy shit i had no idea about any of this. jkflesh album is amazing. what i've always wanted to hear from this kind of sound but never quite gotten.

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
