No.37 Dif Juz-No Motion (1987)
What a great album this was featuring all the roster from 4AD at that time. This was a common thing that Beggars Banquet did as well, I think they shared the same distribution. With Dif Juz they were a band that was part of the 4ad sound but seemed happy to let the music do the talking. There was some thing kind of freeform and improvised in their sound, in terms of tracks I think 'No Motion showed what the band could do. It almost like the lead guitar is the kind of melody but it goes to places it does not come back to in the overall mix. The drum sound and bass sort of goes around, its quite a etheral track like the Cocteaus were doing.I think there was links there as well as Dif Juz sort of helped out with studio time and other things. So in the 4AD landscape Dif Juz were important. other bands shined more brightly., but they played their part.
Dif Juz
dif juz -- hu
Dif Juz. They were a great band, towards their last few records. It was so kind of abstract. Like the tracks would move into several different chord changes. ‘No Motion’ off the 4AD compilation was a fine example. They did help the Cocteau Twins in the setting up of their home studio.
All we ever wanted was everything
A dreamy post-punk mood piece evoking wistful nostalgia, river streams and misty mornings.
