Das muss mal gesagt werden. Selten hat mich ein Album so umgehauen wie das Debüt von Jesu. Steht bei mir auf gleicher ebene mit den 2 White Alben von Sunn. Allerdings gehen Jesu etwas kompakter bzw. kontrollierter an die Sache ran. Hier gibt es auch nicht nur wunderschöne dröhnende Gitarrenwände (kein wunder das Herr Broadrick die 06er tour mit sunn gespielt hat), sondern auch atemberaubend schöne Melodien und klaren gesangsharmonien, sodass wirklich jeder der was mit melancholischer Musik einfangen kann,mal reinhören sollte. Einfach Musik zum eintauchen,...bei so einem majestätischen song wie "Tired Of Me" kommen einem die Tränen vor ergriffenheit. Nein, das hier ist keine Musik, dass ist pure Magie ! Ein klares 10 Punkte Album.
Zitat von Enemy_of_RealityNun 2 Fragen: Ist die neue EP auch so geil ?
Zitat von forumseigener bob1Herrlich, ich mags. Fette fließer, bischen wie Mogwai in satt. 4 Songs, der zweite ist stellenweise etwas flotter. Insgesamt passiert mehr als bisher, denke die st und die heartache haben einige gehört.
Zitat von Meine Wenigkeit[...]hoffe in Aussicht auf den zweiten Volllänger und der beteiligten Jarboe wieder auf eine etwas "spartanischere" bzw. gerne auch "angepisstere" Vorgehensweise à la Heartache oder s/t.
Zitat von Enemy_of_RealityUnd können Godflesh was ? Und wenn ja: Was ? Wink
Bin über die Jahre irgendwie nur bis zur eröffnenden Streetcleaner, dem 4. Volllänger Selfless und dem schliessenden Hymns vorgedrungen, die an sich alle was können, wobei Streetcleaner eben wahrlich nich umsonst immer als DAS Aushängeschild zitiert wird. Bei Hymns zeichnet sich eben teilweise schon die grobe Richtung ab, in die Broadrick dann mit Jesu (siehe Track 04. "Anthem", Track 07. "White Flag" oder Track 12. "Regal") eingeschlagen hat.
Als Vergleichsmöglichkeit: "Man/Woman" von der s/t macht einen annähernd godflesh'esken Eindruck. ...
Zitat von prod1.cmj.com/articlesNew Jesu Album; Interview With Justin Broadrick 2006-11-22 10:36:35.607, Story by: Kory Grow
On Feburary 20, 2007, Jesu will release their second full-length, Conqueror, through Hydra Head. As the immediate successor to industro-pioneers Godflesh, the trio, which consists of Justin K. Broadrick, sometime Swans drummer Ted Parsons and ex-Cable Regime bassist Diarmuid Dalton, has created their most beautifully epic album yet, full of catchy hooks, clean vocals and a bunch of other sounds not typically associated with Broadrick or Jesu. In a recent interview with CMJ, Broadrick said, "It’s really pop. It’s way more pop than, say, the first actual Jesu album, which is actually like a black hole of depression. But it’s still very emotional and very depressing."
Jesu worked hard to make this album more of a "band" outing, and ended up with eight songs that total about 60 minutes. "It’s not like the first album, [which] by my own admission, drags intentionally," says Broadrick. "The first album was pushed to the max at 75 minutes and, intentionally, I wanted it to be use it as you wish. But for those who listen from start to finish that’s fine, but I wouldn’t[laughs]. But this album you can take in one session, I think, and it’s very melodramatic."
Broadrick is also quite proud that "there’s some quite short songs on there as well"—At least two or three songs at five and a half minutes. "I think there’s only one song that’s around 10," he says.
In other Jesu news, Broadrick has said that a US tour is possibly—finally!—in the works on his blog saying, "Jesu WILL hopefully be touring the U.S.A. beginning late Feb ending early April 2007 in support of the Conqueror album release in mid Feb 2007. More info soon... " Also coming soon are a slew of other Jesu releases, inclulding a Hydra Head/Temporary Residence limited-edition split release between Jesu (Broadrick only) and Eluvium, a Jesu and Battle Of Mice split for Robotic Empire and a limited Jesu 12-inch EP with two songs, "Sun Down" and "Sun Rise" for Aurora Borealis. Broadrick has also started a group called Grey Machine with former Head Of David collaborator Dave Cochrane.

...und fast am selben Tag noch der Leak dazu - das Leben ist grausam. ...
Justin K Broadrick has restarted his web label Avalanche Recordings which he originally began in 2000 with the limited CDR issue of the then unreleased Godflesh EP 'Messiah'. The label quietly resurfaced recently with the highly limited release of four FINAL improvised and hand numbered CDR's, which were to be sold as limited editions at Broadrick related concerts.
Avalanche Recordings now presents its first full release in the form of 'Pale Sketches' limited to 2000 copies only on CD, an album compiling unreleased Jesu material containing some songs culled from even before the full conceptual realisation of the project. It is a compilation of Jesu songs that Broadrick felt did'nt fit with previous Jesu releases, so he chose to mix these songs this year and compile them for their own release. Available to buy now on pre-order and shipping in early October, the CD is housed in a full colour 6 panel digipak and contains 8 songs, 4 of which are instrumental, song 4 'The Playgrounds Are Empty' can be heard over at the official Jesu myspace site within the next 24 hours...
In January 2008 'Pale Sketches' will also be available from the Avalanche Store on 180 grm double vinyl, along with the long awaited vinyl version of the first Jesu release 'Heart Ache' and a new FINAL studio album on picture disc only. These items will be available to buy on pre-order in January 2008 and shipping in late February.
Please visit the Avalanche Store HERE and scan down the Avalanche Recs catalogue until you reach 'Pale Sketches' which can be purchased immediately.
All Avalanche Recordings releases are available ONLY from the Avalanche Store or from selected Justin K Broadrick related concerts, albeit in an extremely limited quantity.

AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER IN JAN 2008 [...]
Allerdings - zumindestens was einen Teil von der Conqueror und ganz besonders die aktuelle 12er mit Eluvium angeht. Wenn das mit der Lifeline EP so weiter (im Sand) verläuft, dann war's das. Die Pale Sketches lässt aber doch etwas hoffen, zu mal da u.a. Material aus der "Übergangsphase" von Godflesh (Messiah/Hymns, 2000/2001) zu Jesu (Heart Ache, 2004) verarbeitet worden sein soll...
