I remember going to one in, er, somewhere like Farringdon / Shoreditch area - with you and Moss as roadies.  I think that's the only one I went to, unless they played at one of those Malicious Damage evenings in Kentish Town.  (Certainly Vertical Smile played one of the latter - I don't think Transmission did.)

Agreed from me as well, and I echo everything Jamie just said. Beyond Light is superb and better then Sublimity IMO. 

They were great live, especially considering Simon Tong had food poisoning and they were prepping to play it without him. I remember standing at the side of the stage transfixed by Pauls drumming. Did they only play 2 gigs? 

 

Back to the EP, I must admit the Soundcloud teaser didn’t really float my boat. On the contrary, it somewhat sank it.

Agreed.  I listen to Transmission a fair bit & would love to hear more.  They rocked live, as well.  At the time, I thought it was the only time I'd see the original Joke rhythm section on stage together.

All in. Looking forward to this.  I really wish BP and Youth would do another Transmission album.  “Beyond Light” was really good and I still listen to it from time to time.

With Killing Joke to embark on a 40th anniversary tour in September, drummer “Big Paul” Ferguson has announced the release of his solo debut EP, titled Remote Viewing. Due out on August 24 via the Dead Radio Station record label, the EP’s seven tracks feature guitar, bass, and keyboard contributions from Mark Gemini Thwaite, best known for his work with The Mission, Peter Murphy, Tricky, PIG, and his own band MGT; Ferguson had performed drums on the latest MGT album, Gemini Nyte. Also appearing will be Brainshadow, performing electric violin on the track “X-Box.” BPF first made its debut with the track “The Great Motivator” on the 7-inch vinyl EP included with special editions of writer/photographer/biographer Mont Sherar’s Twilight of the Mortals book released in 2017 via PC-Press. Written and recorded by Ferguson at Drum ‘n’ Steel Works in Baltimore, MD, Remote Viewing was co-produced and mixed by Thwaite. The EP will be released in CD and digital editions and is available for pre-order now via the Dead Radio Station website.
