End of an era - but timeless music in my opinion.

Yep - but he has talked about how the project is ending, so he means it. One more after this. I was referring to that. I have been a fan since the early days. Time flies.

@icastico I remember sitting on the floor of NY Penn Station (always a bad idea) in December 1989 and listening to a tape of Streetcleaner and having my view of music change.

@fistfulofdave @icastico Like the self-titled one? I couldn’t get that for a while.

@icastico @D_J_Nathanson he medically was told to stop singing in his Godflesh style.

@fistfulofdave @icastico Oh, that’s a massive bummer.

I appreciate this quote “It expresses my pain, and I’ve put my body and soul into this expression for the majority of my existence. I feel quite lucky, because Godflesh is now physically impossible for me, rendering it useless. I now wish to move out of its constraints, move on creatively with heavy/ugly music to new ground.”
