GODFLESH @ Hellfest. Okay, if you were in attendance for this then I am sure you are aware of how disappointed we were with what transpired, and we are sure you are / were most likely disappointed too.
I am afraid that it was all utterly beyond our control, we salvaged a performance out of what was a fairly ridiculous set of events. The power generator blowing during the set from The Young Gods, on just prior to us, was the catalyst for the ensuing chaos. At one point, performing at all was even in doubt. We had an hour allocated for both soundcheck and stage set up, since there is no soundcheck prior to the start of the festival, unfortunately, something that we really did need, but we were having to put our trust in the one hour allocated before performance, this one hour then became 20 short and extremely stressful minutes, with the stage management proclaiming that we must start immediately without any check of the sound, disastrous for us - additionally, the backline they hired in for us was not entirely correct or had faults with it, Ben’s bass rig specifically, my guitar amp was not right either, the monitors were awful without the time for us to correct them sufficiently, resulting in not hearing virtually any of the Machine in the monitors for nearly all of our opener ‘Like Rats’, the DVD machine for our films was also somewhat faulty. In short, this was an absolute frustrating catalogue of disasters, presenting the band in, for us, one of the worst ways imaginable. We do though consider that we somewhat forged a performance out of a significantly bad situation.
We played 40 of our intended 60 minutes ; quite literally onstage I managed to turn 30 minutes into 40 due to ongoing arguments, during our set, with the stage management.
We’re really sorry to everyone concerned that all this happened and hopefully this will all be rectified at the forthcoming GODFLESH performance at the Supersonic Festival, details below, for those who can make it, of course.
Thank you to Pascal
Bourdon for his picture here from the performance, I hope to receive some more here from Hellfest for putting in the photo section.
Bleak analog electronics and voice from Justin K Broadrick. Apparitions is a dark, insalutary recording of sub bass throb, scathing frequencies and sheets of feedback unleashed with the ferocity of early power electronics sides. A material electric attack from places unknown.
Ο Justin κυκλοφόρησε πέρυσι το Christmas EP σαν Jesu το οποίο είναι αρκετά καλό (και όχι τόσο χαζό όσο ο τίτλος του) και φέτος το Seventh Heaven σαν Pale Sketcher.
Το δεύτερο (seventh heaven) είναι αρκετά ενδιαφέρον (πρόκειται για project στο οποίο παίζει ηλεκτρονική μουσική) στο οποίο υπάρχει το remix του wash it all away από τους king midas sound. To wash it all away αρχικά βγήκε στο pale sketches (album των Jesu) και στη συνέχεια το remixαρε στο Pale Sketches Demixed μέσω του project Pale Sketcher.
Πολύ μπέρδεμα αλλά ήθελα να τα γράψω με λίγα λόγια:

Το είχα ποστάρει κάπου, αλλά για να μη το ξεχάσουμε, ο Justin έχει πει οτι θα βγει και δεύτερο album από τους Greymachine και οτι θα γίνουν κάποια live.
bump γιατι λιωνω αυτες τις 2 μερες και η πρωτη αποψη ειναι οτι βρισκομαστε παλι σε αριστουργηματικο παιξιμο του μπροουντρικ καποια στιγμη αναλογα πως θα μου σκασει ισως θα ανοιξω και θρεντ με μεγκαυπερσουπερντουπεραναλυτικο ποστ
Όσον αφορά τους Jesu το ντεμπούτο και τα δύο EP’s (Heart Ache και Silver*) μια χαρά ήταν τότε. Από κει και πέρα δεν ξέρω τι λέτε σεις, αλλά μιλάμε για βαρεμάρα στις περισσότερες κυκλοφορίες τους. Και το Ascension στα ίδια επίπεδα φαίνεται να κινείται με κανα/δυο ακροάσεις.
