JB has gone and done something (or rather tracked back and revisited something very rare and) rather interesting.

A cleaner mix of one of the greatest albums of all time - jesu’s s/t from 2005. It’s from a rare limited edition ‘picture disc mix’ from 2006.
While what is now gone did make the original version as brilliant as it is, this alt. version of the album is intriguing for any fans of the album or good (older) jesu.
Altho, this version is a full 5 mins shorter and seems to have some issues. the version for sale is NOT the exact mix from the 1000 count ltd vinyl, JKB mentioned on Facebook that he noticed some oddities with it, and is gonna revisit this due to the apparent incorrect speed of it.
that said the correct speed version of this is better than the cd mix period.
i REALLY dig the vocal mix on this, but i feel that at times the audio mix was more appropriate for certain songs on the older release. (friends are evil being an example of this, the vocals are glorious, music could be better?)
sold.
I thought I noticed the Friends Are Evil version a bit speeded up.
This is way worse than the original but is worth the 7$ as an oddity. The whole point of this album lies in its extreme distortion and wall-of-noise approach.
Weird.
I still gotta pick up this one soon.
