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

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.

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?

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.

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

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

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.

also Fall Of Because

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

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!

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.
