[kj] Godflesh

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Hmm, everything I see says that Godflesh's "Streetcleaner" "overshadows" 
their first release.

But I just got and am enjoying this first release on 12" vinyl. It is 
lo-fi and dirty.

I like that, as opposed to polished stuff. Maybe that is why I like the 
KJ "Duende: Spanish Sessions" release so much, too. It is pretty raw, 
down-tuned guitars, chunky. I think it is pretty damn good, one of my 
fave 2008 releases in retrospect now that I have heard it.

Bands that go for a slick production suck. Maybe this is why I also 
think _Hosannas From the Basements of Hell_ is such a masterwork. 
Totally old school sludgy goodness. And the title track is a d-beat song!
