Just interviewed Channels & these are some replies to
questions that might be of interest...

The theme of apocalypse also looms large in the music
of Killing Joke.

Undeniable, especially the guitar playing of Geordie
Walker is a huge
influence on my playing in Channels.

Don't you think all that stuff is a little hinky? Once
you are exposed
to a
little bit of history - things like Operation
Northwoods or the Tuskeegee
Experiments, or the pilgrims' gift of
smallpox-infected blankets to the
Native
Americans for example - how can you not be at least
skeptical? Meanwhile
Bush can
barely complete a coherent sentence; only an idiot is
prepared to
swallow his
rhetoric whole.

Tinderbox.

Look at grafitti scrawled on the wall:
Dubya can't catch family friend Bin Liner...
But what the HELL?
They talk to God!
