[kj] KJ÷93

[Thomas Bell]

Got the 10 inch vinyl this week.  Took a little under 2 weeks from the UK to the US, well packaged. Just under $80 US hurts though for a single 10” record, but I’m a dumb KJ completest.  I would have also bought the “Live In Berlin” vinyl but for whatever bizarre reason, Cadiz wouldn’t ship it to the US.

 

The KJ÷93 songs are decent, basically guitar, bass, synth and vox with some laid back percussion/drums w/no credit who’s playing but it could just be sampled drums.  Music is mostly mellow, with a middle eastern bent much like “Jana” etc.  Geordie’s tone is almost unrecognizable - tasteful rhythm mostly without the Geordie crunch.  Peter Hook’s chorus-y bass is the most recognizable thing about these tracks.   Jaz’ vox alternate between soft and early cookie monster on the same track.

 

Basically a better take of the kind of music from Outside The Gate.

 

Someone put the songs on YouTube, I imagine they’ll be pulled soon…..
