Review title: Great Music, Questionable Production
Product review: In the early eighties, Dif Juz released a series of brilliant, instrumental EPs characterized by a muscular, cold-wave guitar and rhythm section gliding through gorgeous sonic landscapes. Fortunately, prime examples of this alluring music fill out the final 1/3 of this release. Tracks 1-9 are the band's sole full-length for 4AD. The album material itself is wonderful (especially Twin and Earth, Last Day, Marooned, and Echo Wreck), but it suffers from heavy overproduction by Robin Guthrie, who seems intent on presenting the band's seminal post-rock as though it were new-age, coffee-house background music. Put down your latte, listen closely, and you can hear the masterpiece that might have been.Dif Juz's sound more compelling and distinctive when they stick to their minimalistic roots, as anyone who has heard the absorbing Soundpool compilation can attest. I did like Extractions. I guess I just expected a little more (or less).
