[kj] Loose Cannon Zipped MP3

[Mark Kolmar]

This is how I felt hearing "Millenium" for the 1st time -- especially
after my first taste of that new material was on the "Exorcism" clear
12".  I was really pssych-ed about that.  "Loose Cannon", like
"Millenium", competes in a marketplace with Janes Addiction and Marilyn
Manson.  That light is flattering.

I've never like the commercial marketplace compromises that Killing Joke
has made, even though they have led to good places on its own terms.  One
obvious irony there is that I doubt that _Outside the Gate_ had more
self-conscious commercialism than, say, "Revelations", and what a
factory-preset mess that turned out to be.  So perhaps this is exactly the
stuff that comes naturally.
