Godflesh live - Easter - San Francisco 4/20/14

Just saw this here - I was excited to dig into this initially (and probably still will), but it’s all indexed as a single 5-hour track.
Am not sure who did the promo text that’s on the archive.org page, but there are a few glaring errors - Streetcleaner is given there as the “debut album” of Godflesh, yikes.
Also Cut Hands uses West African and not ‘Haitian’ instrumentation, and I’m not sure if Whitehouse has ever been hailed as “the founding father of the whole industrial genre.” Bennett himself formed Whitehouse partially as a response to what he saw as the dilution of the first wave of industrial music (TG, Cabaret Voltaire etc.)
I’ve seen Streetcleaner called their “debut album” many times in the press over the years…It’s because the s/t is really an EP…Streetcleaner is considered the first full length…

I guess it could go either way - I’m not an authority on Godflesh but I was under the impression that the band wanted for the s/t record to be approached as an “LP” conceptually, despite the EP length. Since they were coming from a musical tradition of having ‘short’ records pitched as fully realized albums (again Whitehouse would be a major influence here.)
2 of the tracks were bonus tracks they added later…the original release on Swordfish just had the initial tracks…I’ve heard it referred to as both an EP and an LP…regardless,that is why you see Streetcleaner called the debut so often…
Here is a new song from the album streaming on Hipsterfork.

Upon first listen it sounds…boring…and makes me wonder why did they reunite…
But on the plus side it DEFINITELY sounds like Godflesh for the longtime fans who were yearning for that classic groove.

Oh, come now, please show some respect to the music megasite that brings us such indispensable columns as “1,000 Albums You Must Hear Before Disaffectedly Talking About Scooby-Doo Cartoons With Your Hipster Brethren And / Or Purchasing An Ironic Pabst Blue Ribbon Logo T-Shirt”…
As long as I’m participating in the Godflesh thread here, I wonder if anyone has heard this CD of Wire covers that features an entry from them (probably mentioned on here ages ago, so forgive me):

Have been looking for this for a while, if anyone can confirm or deny that it’s worth the discogs asking prices. Saw it at Tower Recs before the millenium, but at the time hardly had enough money for a microwaveable burrito.
If you know Wire’s catalog, the songs themselves actually seem like great fits for the bands that are covering them - I know that Chris Connelly’s track is also featured on a retrospective collection of his, though I have yet to hear the Ogre / Bill Rieflin track or of course the Godflesh track.
I think the new track sounds incredible…bring on the EP!

I have a copy of this as I was and am a GF completest…not something I play that often but there are some good covers on there…haven’t checked the discog prices but I will when I get home…
I remember that CD - it was OK.
That sort of thing is the perfect candidate for sharing, IMO.

I like the new tune…consistent for sure.

Is $10.00 really gonna bust your budget?

If something has the potential to be a lousy aesthetic experience, and a total waste of my time, then I’d rather not spend any money on it. That applies whether I’m financially well off, or destitute, or anywhere in between those two poles. Sounds like this may be worth the investment, though, from the tips my fellow Prongers have given me.

Eh, it’s ok. Maybe they are saving the best til last?
Naah. That’s all they got.
Also, you can talk about “hipster”, Bojangles.
If you were anymore Hipster you’d write for Vice magazine and play bass in an indie/electro band with a skinny goth female vocalist and a Hispanic dude with leather pants and no shirt and you would name drop hipster doofus punk bands like The Germs or The Adolescents at any given opportunity and you’d smoke herbal cigarettes and wear Free Pussy Riot tees and you’d never eat meat and you’d take prescription Xanax and you’d be friends with at least one member of either The Knife or The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and you’d think M.I.A was the greatest indie act on the face of the planet…
<hyperventilates>
I’m done here.

1001 Albums You must hear before smearing your face with mascara and joining an interpretive dance act
1001 albums you must hear before meeting your friends at the Buddhist Vegan restaurant in Chinatown at 9:30 on Wednesday
1001 Albums you must hear before getting that Ian Curtis tattoo you’ve secretly been pining for since last August
1001 Albums you must hear before scrawling anti-capitalist graffiti on the subway at 2am after attending a rave party with Cynthia and Ben at a warehouse owned by a mutual friend who worked at the same Dangerfield store as you once did.
1001 Albums you must hear before everybody else does so that as soon as those bands become popular you can act all jaded and indifferent because you were SO into them last summer…
1001 Albums you must hear before the landlord gives you and yr hipster doofus flatmates the arse…
Hipsters.
