"Godflesh gets reunited??? what a great news! even now I remember as clear as if it was yesterday how I heard some of your songs and how happy I was when later managed to find them by search on Warren Auto Insurance :) I'm your true fan ever since. I wish you all the best in everything you do!"

He's just amazing, innit?. It's like he has a sort of Midas touch. So many records, eps, remixes, splits...never a throwaway track! Keep them coming, JK!

Thanks!

Freakin' love Justin. As another poster said. I had seen him perform here in Denver, CO in '07 as well. And the performance was not that great. However, reading another interview he said he does not restrict his music for live performance. You listen to Jesu and you hear so much going on. Instrumentally and sound wise. It's so heavily layered. You would expect more than a lead, bass, and drummer on stage. His philosophy about music is a refreshing point of view though. Very humble guy.

we'll have some live Jesu

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting to hear a little more of his thoughts on live performances. I saw them live in Buffalo, NY in 2007 and was a little disappointed; but I can definitely understand the difficulty of expressing something like Jesu in a live setting. Would love to see them again with the visual element, if they ever come back to the US.
