been listening to Godflesh ‘Songs of Love and Hate’
some great songs and hypnotic groove on there and some stuff a bit repetitive.
I appreciate the really raw production.
a few songs (“Circle of Shit”, “Almost Heaven”) stand out to me as some of the most unique and best in the band’s catalog…
SOLAH is my favourite Godflesh album by a country mile. It’s dubwise to the max. PHATT, warm, organic and a real dark awesome groove to the whole thing. The riff on “Time, Death & Wastefulness” is a soaring majestic monster!!!
I’ve got right back into Acid Pauli’s new debut album “mst”. I bought it before being busy as a bastard for over a month and didn’t really get the chance to listen to it much…that has changed now. Acid Pauli is the man.
Also been thrashing Matthew Dear’s new album Beams.

This somehow turned into my favorite Godflesh record, too. “Sterile Prophet” is a monstrously heavy song, maybe my favorite on the disc, and the one-two punch of “Frail” and “Almost Heaven” is such a cool way to end things.
Bargain-bin goodies:
Ruby - Salt Peter: Got this because I really like Leslie Rankine’s vocals in Pigface, and the album turned out… Well, significantly less than that. It’s cool, but really needs some more spins to work for me.
Lick - Breech: I REALLY like this one a lot. Much as I dislike Marteeeeeeen and how he makes his money, I can’t help but really like the Invisible Records sound of the mid-Nineties. Nasty, grimy punk with weird electronic stuff deep in the mix, and maybe a trash can or two.
Dead Can Dance - A Passage in Time DCD has been kicking my ass lately. Found this for two bucks, and it’s pretty cool.
A buddy of mine got the new Serj Tankian album and has been bumping it in his car all week. It might be growing on me. I dunno.

HAHAHA!!! I bought the same disc for the same reason. It does take some repeat attempts to get into it (and none of it will hit you with the force of her Pigface tracks) but it’ll likely never become something that you’ll be fanatic about. I like it okay, but I really just want to hear her raw and crusty and yelling her sexy guts out like she did on the Pigface songs.

Yeah, I was expecting something thunderous and ballsy, and what I got was generic, but really well-done, electronica.
Re: Southern Death Cult…
I actually listened to this project before I listened to the Cult. I’m all about nasty death rock that sounds like the score to a weird, post-apocalyptic spaghetti Western (a LOT of English deathrockers like the March Violets, RLYL, and the like sound like that, now that I think about it), but I like how Ian took the band and made it a straight-up rock outfit.
Definitely my favorite Pigface album, and prolly one of my top ten, given a gun-to-the-head verdict.
Excellent for a hangover.[/reply]
It was my first one. Got it for like $4.99 at Camelot music at Jamestown Mall, I think in freshman or sophomore year of high school. Picked it up because I had Broken and saw the credit T. Reznor/Pigface (which Martin was pretty pissy about), and not knowing the name of the song (Suck wasn’t listed anywhere, I had the version of Broken with the 3" cd for the hidden tracks) I just picked up the cheapest Pigface disc they had to get my toes wet.
I’m awfully fond of that record. Don’t know that I’d say it’s my favorite of theirs, but every once in a while I go “how the fuck have I not listened to this in _______ months” and just jam the fuck out of it. LOUDLY. That record refuses to be played quietly.
Cutting Face should have been a fucking top forty hit. And the HTLP remix suite, ESPECIALLY the third part, OH! and Prepare To Die… So very nice.
