Good morning.
Today we’re listening to Dif Juz, an English post-punk band active in the 1980s. Thanks
for the recommendation. The band – David Curtis (guitar), Alan Curtis (guitar), Gary Bromley (bass), Richard Thomas (percussion and saxophone) – formed in London in 1980. “Dif Juz” is a play on “different jazz,” describing the group’s freeform, spacey muscality. We’re first playing their 1985 record, Extractions, which showcases this style and features Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser on “Love Instant.” We’re also playing Soundpool, a 1999 compilation of the band’s EPs from 1981 (it overlaps with the extended edition of Extractions on some streaming platforms).Extractions - Dif Juz (60m, vocals on “Love Instant” only)

Have a wonderful Thursday.
Dif Juz
I highly recommend also checking out the compilation with Dif Juz featured prominently along with Dead Can Dance, Clan of Xymox and Cocteau Twins called Lonely Is An Eyesore - June 1987.
Thanks Ilsa for the recommendation. I was addicted to these guys back when these albums were released . . . time to give them another spin!
