[kj] KJ 2003 - 2013

[Phillipps, Marc]

Leigh had just started his KJ site, SNET was all over the message boards (allmusic?) and unspeakable was in its infancy 

 

I had more hair and less stomach

Quick poll: What was happening in KJ land when you joined the Gathering?

 

Me: If memory serves, the fabled UNSPEAKABLE compilation was gestating and NO WAY OUT BUT FORWARD GO (remember that?) was about to be released, to much fanfare (despite the fact that it featured a CD ROM [remember those?} and showcased a frankly mediocre performance). Smashing artwork from Mike Coles, though.

	Good god, is it really a decade since Killing Joke ended that interminably long and tedious near-retirement in the latter part of the 20th century, until out of nowhere they finally breathed life into the Gathering again and the universe with the release of Loose Cannon followed by KJ 2003?
	 
	Ten whole years, cor blimey, where did that go! It feels to me as though they are still only at the beginning of their resuscitation, but in fact we've had 4 albums, several tours, a big re-union, almost a spoken-word album (it's the thought that counts), at least one lecture - AND it appears  there's still a bit more fruit to shake off the tree this year with more music, a book and allegedly a film.
	 
	By Killing Joke's standards the past decade has been a maelstrom of activity.
	 
	Of course, Raven's death must also factor into this period, unfortunately. 
	 
	But it's still amazing to see the original band back together.
	 
	Long may the magick continue!
