4.0 out of 5 stars reverb doesn't kill, October 28, 2002

By 

echobaba (los angeles) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Extractions (Audio CD)

EXTRACTIONS is the great release by the mysterious instrumental 4AD band DIF JUZ. They have a unique sound of trippy, melodic, and ambient electric guitars juxtaposed against a syncopated and driving rhythm section (the track "Echo Wreck" expemlifies this, and is worth the price of the CD). What sets these guys apart from other instrumental bands (especially on this release) , is their talent for melody and songwriting. The songs never sound like the band is just meandering or (worse) 'jamming'. The only thing about this album that stops it from being called a timeless record is the 'big reverb' production aesthetic that was so characteristic of 4AD releases. But hey, too much reverb never killed anyone's buzz.

5.0 out of 5 stars Candidate for the Indie Hall of Fame!!!, July 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Extractions (Audio CD)

This 4AD release is one of the best indie albums ever put out, and, unfortunately, the only Dif Juz recording I've ever found. The whole album is instrumental and experimental, but excellent in its entirety. Every complete indie collection should have a copy of Extractions. Dif Juz also has a great track on the 4AD compilation album "Lonely Is An Eyesore," which you can find and listen to at most record shops. Great stuff.
