Godflesh - Godflesh - 29-Apr-03 07:28 PM
Essential for its total enveloping, suffocating drone. The mechanical drum machine (sometimes listed, a-la Big Black, as a member of the band) even seems to take on a mind of its own amidst the sea of relentless grind. Its a feast for lovers of relentless drone, not unsimilar to early Swans or Butthole Surfers.

Birminghams greatest sons since Black Sabbath. Its only fitting that Godflesh, the most innnovative band for heavy guitar-based music in the 1990s, should come out of that city. Stretching from the Swans-influenced early output to the techno-mergers of their later work, these guys (Justin Broadrick and G. Christian Green) not only defined the hard, bowel-crunching "metal" that is out there now, they became its de-facto godfathers. The family tree that Godflesh belongs to is quite immense and multi-faceted. The best website for to see the whole scene is www.crumblingflesh.com, one of the webs longest running and invaluable resources for this genre. Starting with Godflesh, of course.

Gedulah vs. Cheesecake - 29-Apr-03 07:13 PM
A great track on a great compilation. Im not sure how many original Terminal Cheesecake members are responsible for this excursion into the avalance of drone they put on here, but its a great welcome to their fucked up world. Very much more "techno" oriented than their older guitar-influenced dub pranks, but when placed with the company it keeps on the Macro Dub CD, it is very apt.

Terminal Cheesecake - 29-Apr-03 07:10 PM
Terminal Cheesecake were Britains answer to the Butthole Surfers, only with more solid footing in beats and a more definite leaning towards sludge/grind than Gibby and company. Closely tied with the burgeoning UK dirge scene, a la Godflesh, Head Of David, Loop, they were the acid-casualty-friendly group of the bunch. But not so much so. The music at once reminds you that not only do the fellows like beats, they also like the mind-crushing drone and ambiance that is requisite for the UK scene at the time. Did I mention that their albums and CDs are too pricey for the casual collector like myself?

Bandulu - Changing World - 19-Nov-02 12:50 PM
Their best single, in my opinion. Their gritty, 4 on the floor, dub-techno has never been been better. The vocalist, whose mantra is buried underneath the shaking bass, is credited as J. OConnell. All 4 tracks are pretty amazing, including the 2 minute CDS only "Ki".
