Extractions is the third studio album by English band Dif Juz, released in 1985 by record label 4AD.[1]

Recording

Extractions was recorded in April 1985 at Palladium Studios, Edinburgh, with Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins as producer and Keith Mitchell as engineer.[2] Cocteau Twins singer Elizabeth Fraser provides guest vocals on track 5.

It was less ambient than the band's previous works while retaining the same "moody" tone.[3] It included additions like saxophone, unconventional percussion, and increased studio experimentation.[4]
