Why are we not perfect?


[Listen]

It never seems to suprise me the music that Jesu keeps putting out since 2004, with a average of 2/3 different types of release each year he keeps grabbing my attention and espically with this latest e.p that is focused on the ligther side of Jesu. Justin Broadrick (ex-Napalm Death/Godflesh) sets aside the heavy foundation of pounding guitars prevalent in past Jesu recordings and brings to the fore elements of texture and melody that previously hovered at the periphery of his monolithic compositions. Two of the songs can be found on the previously released split with Eluvium and can be found twice on this disc with alternate versions, which actually sound a lot different then the orginal tracks so it's nice to hear the progress between the two.

Give this stuff a listen if your looking for something a little lighter and more ambient to listen to, I have been playing this e.p. over the last week while falling asleep and it always does the job, It has a perfect fit for a dark rainy day.

That EP is great. The track is really soothing.
