Sometimes a piece of music enters your life and has a tough time leaving your CD player. The debut full-lengther from this New Orleans-based duo happens to be one of the most addictive albums I have heard in months. I have said this before and I'll say it again: great organic musicians make for great electronic musicians, and we have heard hints of what this duo could do earlier this year with their contributions to the Scarlet Diva soundtrack as well as some remix they allegedly did for Nine Inch Nails.
 
Their debut is clean and sharp, with delicately crafted electronics gently glistening over the live playing of organs, electric piano, bass, guitar, drums and percussion. This is what I was dreaming of when I listened to the soundtrack and was anxious to hear an electronic band bring that live feel into the mix. Audiofiles would be happy to know this CD bears a high-definition logo (which means something to the effect of being superbly enhanced on expensive equipment). On regular equipment, however, the music sounds fine enough, with supersonic psychologically-stimulating ticks which move the beat finer than any laptop composition that bore a click and cut logo from any excessive German record label. Composition, structure and an incredible competancy can be shown from track to track on this 18-minute slice of electronic bliss. This disc has been tested in my car, in the walkman, on the radio and in the house and while it passes with flying colors in all places, the best experience is to sit back and simply tune every other distraction out. The duo is touring the USA starting this week on Hefty's Immediate Action tour. Don't miss this show as Slicker, Twine and Beneath Autumn Sky are also on the bill. For dates, check out Hefty's website.

There are two types of people that will buy this 2-disc set: those who have every single release Godflesh has ever thought about putting out and those who don't have any Godflesh at all. The first disc, subtitled 'flesh of god', is a best-of collection (not my personal favorites, but hey, what can you do?) the 'Slavestate' and 'Pure' album tracks are remastered by Justin Broadrick, but otherwise the first disc's tracks are just selected album tracks from their first album (1988's "Godflesh") to their most recent (2000's "Us & Them").
Earache
The second disc, subtitled 'beyond the flesh' is the real treat and the real draw for fans, as it consists entirely of rare, out of print, compilation and exlusive tracks. As good as these tracks are, the disc is lacking: 2 BBC Peel Session tracks are missing, some mixes aren't as clear as they could be, and track selection isn't anything to write home about. Although I am disappointed in the track selection, it is varied; 1988's 'Love is a Dog from Hell', several new mixes of recent material, and compilation appearances, including the very unusual, very mellow "Empyreal 2". The album's liner notes are a short retelling of the band's history that does go through the beginnings of the band from Fall Of Because, Head Of David and Napalm Death, but doesn't give a lot of insight into the music itself, and includes an abbreviated discography. If you haven't heard any Godflesh at all and want to hear the evolution of Godflesh's sound over the years without picking up all the releases, or if you're a fan who wants the 2nd disc's exclusive material, this set is for you. If you're just a casual fan, you might be better off with a proper Godflesh album.
