Godflesh: Slavestate

I'm still digging into my 'forgotten' CD collection & came across Godflesh's Slavestate. The reason why I bought this album was due to Napalm Death; guitarist Justin Brodrick had a stint in ND before splintering into Godflesh.

This was my first Godflesh album & it's not the band's debut, it's a remix/ EP release featuring the Godflesh duo implementing some electronic beats, no human drummer was involved. This effectively triggered my interest in such music, I believe guitar/ bass players who can play along machines are the rare breed of musicians with high emotional quotient, chances are, their music would be of a certain landmark which could only be appreciated by the artistic. I guess this is why I enjoy Satriani's Engine of Creation more than the highly acclaimed Surfing with the Alien/ Flying in a Blue Dream.
