I just wanted to point out that "nonetheless" makes no sense in this paragraph. Carry on discussion, this thread just proves to me that we've officially run out of bands.

er...have you lost yr mind?!
''You all (except Ally) gush over Lou Reed and John Lydon but balk at Jesus Jones guy?''
Lydon made his last great record in 79/80, Lou reed in '75 (MMM). so there's a reason.

Is the reason that they're old?
― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 12 April 2003 19:04 (twenty-one years ago) link
The reason: both made great records and were good vocalists (hehe).

It's exactly as good as I remember, i.e. great intro and then it turns into the usual sub-Charlatans plod.
But they still reform regularly to play their One Actual (American) Hit at corporate functions!

wasn't a hit i see either. could have sworn it was.

"Real Real Real" and "Welcome Back Victoria" are pretty good too actually.

listening to Liquidizer for the first time in... 20 years? it's kind of scary how music from a particular time in your life can imprint on you
― OH MY GOD HE'S OOGLY (DJP), Friday, 16 August 2013 15:53 (ten years ago) link
saw them live a few weeks back.bloody good fun.

iTunes added Perverse not long ago.

I just listened to Carter USM's 30 Something with a huge grin on my face and even I'm not going anywhere near Perverse
― OH MY GOD HE'S OOGLY (DJP), Friday, 16 August 2013 17:26 (ten years ago) link
i'm the other way around.
cant listen to carter these days (then again, i couldn't at their peak), whereas jj i still enjoy ..
― mark e, Friday, 16 August 2013 17:31 (ten years ago) link
I got off the JJ train when Perverse first came out; I'm very wary of revisiting that album
― OH MY GOD HE'S OOGLY (DJP), Friday, 16 August 2013 17:40 (ten years ago) link
i really like it.
(though could do with a bit of bass amongst the top end excess)
it fits in well with the whole pwei and neds discovering ministry/nin groove ...
― mark e, Friday, 16 August 2013 17:43 (ten years ago) link
you know there was a time before britpop took over that a select few bands in the uk took the usa styled guitar heavy industrial thing, (as opposed to the true industrial noise a la ptv, coil, cabs), and ran with it.
pwei, emf vs foetus, jesus jones, curve, neds, senser ...
no doubt i have missed some ..
reminders most welcome
(silverfish ? never heard their foetus produced material)
i am going to enjoy the xc-nn album tonight ...
it's bloody good.

Sheep On Drugs! I liked a song or two of theirs. Ahem.
Cubanate, Mary Byker's shitty Hyperhead project? I'd forgotten about XC-NN too. What happened to that strain?

SHEEP ON DRUGS RULED
― OH MY GOD HE'S OOGLY (DJP), Friday, 16 August 2013 18:48 (ten years ago) link
oh fuck of course .. SOD .. and hyperhead (thats buried deep in the archive ... time to start digging)
Iain from JJ has reminded me of eskimos and egypt ...
XC-NN went onto become tin star i think.
there was also a garbage lite band formed by bloke from danny wilson : transister
their album was very much along this kinda thing, with one of their tracks featuring in a slasher movie.
― mark e, Friday, 16 August 2013 18:49 (ten years ago) link
i still really enjoy Doubt when i put it on i.e. tonight.

Revive!!!
Have the years been kind?
Are we ever going to get to the bottom of this 'grebo' business, and what a grebo actually was?
Is this one of those bands where the US perspective is so inpenetrably different from the UK perspective that we might as well be discussing two different bands?
Is it weird that of all the comparisons on this thread, my boys The Shamen are never once mentioned - I just put Liquidiser on for the first time in nearly 30 years, and the first song is called "Move Mountains" and I actually yelped 'oh no you didn't' out loud?

Colin Angus: "In America, last year, Mike Edwards kept saying what a great influence we had on him, and it's true - he used to come to a lot of our gigs around this time. What he did was take some of our ideas about fusing rock and hip hop, and put polished melodies and lyrics on top. But I don't see Jesus Jones as plagiarists at all. Good luck to them."
Aw, bless. What a lovely man.

This is apparently the keyboard player Iain Baker who Ned mentions above wearing a Big Black t-shirt:

Spellcheck innit. Not sure my phone will even allow me to type Liquidiser - nope, it changed it for me!
