Dif Juz是一支来自传奇场牌4AD的英国乐队，活跃在80年代，成员包括Curtis兄弟Dave (guitar)和 Alan (guitar)，还有贝司手 Gary Bromley，以及Richard Thomas (drums, percussion, saxophone)。Dif Juz有着自己非常鲜明的特点，Post-punk般略带工业味的氛围渲染，Dream pop般迷幻的电吉他，开篇另人神魂颠倒的Jazz风，还有一点点Dark Wave的阴暗，众多的音乐风格被Dif Juz拿捏的如此娴熟，实数难得。优美的旋律，开拓性的创作方式，如火纯青的吉他，在当时很快的就和一般的乐队划开了明显的界限，整张专辑是如此的特别，难怪能在伦敦引起一定的轰动。当然还有一个很重要的原因让我喜欢上这张专辑，那就是因为该专辑是由Cocteau Twins的吉他手Robin Guthrie操刀录制，其中“Love Insane”是由有着另类界最美的女声，同样来自传奇乐队Cocteau Twins的主唱Elizabeth Fraser倾情献唱，可见Dif Juz当时在4AD是受到了比较高的重视。Early proponents of what later became the 4AD sound, Dif Juz concentrated on just that, lacking a vocalist on all their recordings except for a guest spot or two by the Cocteau Twins' Liz Fraser. Originally formed as the punk band London Pride by brothers Dave and Alan Curtis, the band included bassist Gary Bromley and drummer Richie Thomas by the release of two EPs for 4AD Records in 1981, Huremics and Vibrating Air. Both works contained textured instrumentals with a wispy, barely there feel which became a cottage industry for 4AD -- ten years later. A third EP in 1983 (Who Says So?) saw Dif Juz recording for the Red Flame label, and the band's 1985 debut album appeared on Pleasantly Surprised Records. The cassette-only Time Clock Turn Back consisted of extemporaneous vamps recorded live in the studio, and spawned a reunion with 4AD.The first Dif Juz LP released on 4AD, 1985's Extractions, was much less ambient (though just as moody) than their previous works. It also contained the first vocal on a Dif Juz record, by the Cocteaus' Liz Fraser; her bandmate Robin Guthrie produced the album. Dif Juz toured with the Cocteau Twins during 1985 and released the mini-album Out of the Trees a year later, but then wasted away. Thomas later worked with both the Jesus & Mary Chain and Butterfly Child, while Dave Curtis joined the Wolfgang Press.
