Jesu / Eluvium is a split LP between Justin Broadrick's Jesu and Matthew Cooper's Eluvium. It was released on July 5, 2007 and features Broadrick performing solo again, under the Jesu name, for the first time since the Heart Ache release.

On September 9, 2008, Hydra Head released Why Are We Not Perfect?, a CDEP that only features the Jesu songs originally available on the Eluvium split vinyl album as well as two new remixes. Daymare released the album in Japan, with an additional third remix not available on the American release.
