Jehovahkill

1992年発表の8作目。好評の前作の煽りもありUKアルバム・チャートで20位を記録。従来の彼の音楽をkrautrockと合体させた傑作。

Rolling Stone (1/7/93, p.47) - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...an overwhelming 16-song cycle...Cope has packed JEHOVAHKILL with enough musical novelty to keep listeners guessing--and intrigued...he couples lyrics of inscrutable power with music that is both ecelctic and tightly tailored..." Spin (1/93) - Highly Recommended - "...JEHOVAHKILL is better than anything else Cope has recorded...Cope's message to the universe has become remarkably selfless and sane...Cope's most consistent album..." Entertainment Weekly (1/15/93, p.52) - "...sounds like a guy with great taste having an orgy in the studio--and echoing everybody he's ever liked in the process..." - Rating: B+ Q (10/94, p.135) - 3 Stars - Good - "...strung-out battiness, Floydian noodling, eco-fear and humble autobiography..." Alternative Press (3/93, p.45) - "...he's found the magic again...an album full of driving music; Cope jumps into the void and discovers freedom...overflows with new ideas, sounds and styles...A record to be treasured and enjoyed over and over again..." The Wire (p.66) - "JEHOVAHKILL marked the final shift from Cope the ex-Teardrop and ex-pop star to Cope the shaman, heathen rocker and wayward polymath.....An engaging sequence of songs." Audio Magazine (2/93, p.94) - Sound: A / Performance: A- - "...fascinating....Paranoid whispers, distant howls, seductive bass lines, rough acoustic/electric climaxes--refreshing audacity--this is Julian Cope..." (3/93, p.54) - "...At once didactic and confessional, these songs demonstrate a severe form of self-analysis..." Mojo (Publisher) (p.134) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he results are still a thrilling charge to the head." NME (Magazine) (11/7/92, p.38) - "...A 16-track testimony to the everlasting worth of ancient ruins....Cope is funnier and more inventive than he's been in years..."
