Justin Broadrick demonstrated through his early works a desire for that moment of unitivity when the conscious mind and emotions synchronized. Through Godflesh, and later Techno Animal and Final, he showed a passion for bringing colossal structures to bear on moments of quiet contemplation. With Jesu, he resurrects his music outside the ghetto that extremist offerings can be, and melds into post-rock disparate influences from industrial, shoegaze, noisepop, and so forth. Jesu, protean as all Broadrick projects are, in turn twisted from more radiantly noisy to its current softer state. On "Why Are We Not Perfect" Jesu moves the slider closest to shoegaze...

i'm curious to hear this, though i wish he would incorporate more of the s/t sound. i love Conqueror and Silver, but Lifeline and some of Pale Sketches was a little too soft for me. i miss angry Broadrick.

Broadrick's ep's and splits have been hit or miss. Conqueror is a good album, but I have to be in the proper mood to appreciate it. Without question, I could listen to heart ache and s/t all day. The sun down/sun rise ep was excellent, and the track Farewell off of his split with Eluvium is the personification of quality pop music. I still don't know how I feel about Lifeline, but his split with Battle of Mice was impressive. I don't know how many people have heard it, but his tracks contain an Aphex Twin / Autechre influence; reconciling the IDM and jesu sound perfectly.

he releases waaay to much material. i think this could have just been fine as the eluvium split..these remixes are nothing special..

Yeah, I have the original version from the eluvium split...it's cool...but I think it's a little too easy for him to produce music...

well written review

I'll listen to the remixes and probably agree with titd

so will you

i'm listening to Lifeline right now, i like it a lot more than i did. my brother made me a cd that has Silver and Lifeline on it, they flow together really well. i don't know if i care for the female vocals, they aren't bad, i think just a little out of place. if they had been sparse it would work so much better.

onlysong I like on lifeline is the first song

I love EVERYTHING Jesu puts out. One of the only bands I listen to that I actually buy EPs from. This is a very good EP. I'm hoping for a full-length this year.

the self titled is my favorite by far

s/t and Silver minus one song are all I ever come back to.

self titled slayed. nothing else is really notable in my opinion

I love Conqueror, Silver EP and Self-Titled the most.

i only wish for a little more Godflesh sound in it, kind of like Man/Woman on the s/t.
