[kj] Fight

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

Pretty much in agreement, though All Hallows Eve isn't one of my favourites.  (I'll give it another listen though, prompted by your email.)


Recent favourites are:


Snake Dance (either version)
Euphoria
Big Buzz
Raven King
In Cythera
ESS
Ladbroke Grove
Kali Yuga
Singularity


Also agreed about KJ In Dub - some monstrously good stuff there.

It has been interesting watching the resurgence of KJ with the last 3 albums.

A world with Killing Joke in it is obviously way more interesting than one without, and I

am glad for them and us that they've had a bit of a career re-boot and are winning over

new fans. An in-form KJ on stage is still one of the most thrilling live music events

you can witness, I think we all agree on that.


But for me the last 3 albums are the least interesting records they've ever done. They are

a straight ahead rock band now, more or less, and much of the rhythmic invention and

innovation that set them apart from every other band out there has gone. Admittedly my tastes have

changed massively over the last decade - after 20+ years I became bored with blokes shouting

over guitars and my new passion is African music, both new and old - but I still look to KJ to create the rock music

that no one else is capable of. And that is a bit of a lost cause nowadays I think.


The only songs from Absolute Dissent I play on a regular basis are ESS and Ladbroke Grove, from

MMXII, In Cythera and All Hallows Eve. The one recent release with KJ's name on it that I listen to all the time is KJ In Dub.

So when I listen to Snakedance I think, yeah, they've still got it. I just wish it happened more often.

Just kidding.  I just re-visited the original Snake Dance and, I concur, it's pretty badass.


Not the best though!!!  If I had to choose one it would have to be.....  


Autonomous Zone.


Ok bye!!

Seeing as how its been kicking off on here recently, I

don't want to miss out on my fair share of action, so:



Snake Dance is by far the best track on Pylon.


OK bye
