[kj] RE: Who is Killing Joke's closest relative?

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

I think I agree with Darth E. Vader's list the most. KJ seem to be most 
closely musically related to bands like Joy Division, Gang of Four, etc. 
-- but what about another late 70s, early 80s Brit post-punk band UK 
DECAY, folks? The UK Decay album "A Night for Celebration" is totally 
something fans of the first KJ releases would love, I'm sure of it.

UK Decay's "Night for Celebration" album cover and tracklist is here:

Most of the songs are great.

Of course, KJ have been so eclectic in their styles and experiments it's 
hard to pin down any one group that consistently resembles them. 
Sometimes I feel like the biggest influence on the late 90s Nine Inch 
ails release, The Fragile, must have been KJ's Pandemonium!
