Final - Solaris (1996)

The "moar Final, dude"-mails I have recieved have worked. Time for more ambience, then. Originally released on Alley Sweeper, I present you the 1998 reissue on Invisible Records with an additional 30-minute track entitled Dying star. Most of the material was recorded by Justin in the summer of 1995 (with G.C. Green featured on the second track, Light), except for Dying star which was recorded in late 1995, with additional help from Dermot Dalton. Final went for a very calm, minimal approach on this EP. It's almost soothing in a way. Hope you enjoy!

Final - 3 (2006)

The number 3 in our series was released on Neurot Recordings as a double CD in February 2006. Gathering recordings from 2001 up to 2005, the album features quite a broad spectrum of sound. While the second disc has Justin going at it pretty much alone (except for assistance from D. Dalton on Barely here and Northpole), the first disc is a great collabrational effort by Diarmuid and Justin (except again for a few tracks of Justin going solo). Great experimental music here, and with both discs featuring over 70 minutes of material, you're highly unlikely of running out of new sounds to discover. Enjoy!

Final - 2 (1996)

Featuring nine tracks, this album once again features experimental and minimal ambient by our beloved Justin. The running time is over 70 minutes, and includes all-revealing track titles such as *******, /////// and ;;;;;;;. All material written between 1993-1995 by Justin, with additional help from G.C. Green and D. Dalton on a few tracks.

Final - One (1994)

Started by Justin at a very young age, Final released several tapes in the early-to-mid '80s on his own Postmortem label. It basically began as a noise/power electronics project, lots of feedback and screaming; eventually turning into the ambient project you are priviledged to be hearing on One.

The album features eight tracks, of which seven were recorded and mixed at Avalanche studios in '92/'93. The only material written prior to this, was the last tune: 1983-1987 (Edits). Another interesting tidbit of information involves the running time of this digipack by Subharmonic. I have no idea why they had to shave off two minutes in total running time on the digipack, in my opinion a few minutes wouldn't make that much of a difference on an ambient recording.

As I pretty much despise reviewing ambient music, I will let you dive into the whirlpool of sounds yourself. Enjoy!

Justin K. Broadrick on "Red bull music academy" radio show

Meet Justin Broadrick: pioneering musician, guitarist, songwriter, drummer and all around visionary. His trailblazing, incredibly productive recording career most notably includes stints in the formative grindcore band Napalm Death (circa Scum), the pioneering industrial metal band Godflesh, who after some years apart have reformed this year for more mayhem and Jesu, a celebrated experimental rock band that has been fusing his previous endeavors with traces of shoegazing beauty. Not to mention, of course, his various works with the talented Kevin Martin as Techno Animal. Mere paragraphs of uniform text cannot do justice to the lucid landscapes, melancholy majesty and sheer aural ecstacy Broadrick conjures in his mind. Suffice to say you have not listened to the most eloquent, articulate use of a guitar until you have heard the sombre strains of Broadrick's work engraving it's name on every sinew of your body. Go on, I dare you.

It's basically an one hour long interview with musical interludes. Going through a broad spectrum of Justins music, giving insights on the upcoming Hellfest-appearance and generally sounding like a nice chap, I think this is a "must hear"-interview for all interested parties.

The playlist is the following:
Final - Little pictures
Final - The light orchestra
Fall Of Because - Life is easy
Napalm Death - Scum
Godflesh - Frail
Godflesh - Like rats
Godflesh - Circle of shit
Godflesh - Mothra
Ice - X-1

Curse Of The Golden Vampire - Total annihilation of self
Tech Level 2 - Whowanseekwar
Jesu - Deflated

Enjoy the interview!
