Considerable Jesus -- For Fun and Prophet

Now I don't know about you, but if there's one thing I like, it's a snappy title for a group and/or a disc. For Fun and Prophet isn't really a new release, as it came out in 03/04, but as NBC used to say, if you haven't heard it, it's new to you!
This is a pretty amazing disc. It combines elements of electronica, spoken word, your basic backbeats, and a hint of experimental body cavity searching. It does a wonderful job of "moving" from beginning to end. The sound is always shifting ever so slightly from track to track, and while there are a few tunes that share a common sound, they are never back to back, so at most you might think to yourself, "Oh, there was a song earlier that sounded similar."
The first few tracks are of the slow to mid tempo variety, with my personal favorite being Aches and Pains. Maybe it's because I can really relate to the subject. There were quite a few tracks that really got my attention, and deservedly so. Considerable Jesus is/was a group not afraid to go almost anywhere on one single release.
The first few tracks have some electronic overtones, with some slightly altered vocals, and the middle leads you to some spoken word pieces. The highlight for me was a reading of The Hollow Men by TS Eliot. Everything else was a very close second.
The success in this lies not just in the quality of music and lyrics, but in the fact that in this day and age of the 99 cent itunes single, a band can create a disc designed to take you places. Unlike mainstream bands who work to stick their soon to be #1 hit at the top and fill the rest of the space with dreck, bands like Considerable Jesus work very hard to put out something that is quality through and through.
I hardly need to mention the A grade this gets, do I?
Of course, many thanks to Erika at acidsoxx.com for bringing this sort of release to my attention. She's the best!
