[kj] KJ2003

[Karen Weil]

Yes, the first KJ was tremendous, but I'm with Alex on the power of "Nighttime"! 
It's a powerful, dare I say sexy, record!
Glad there are so many devote KJ fans in this world ...

  The first one ( "Killing Joke") is the best, with "HA" a close second.  "Nighttime" is acceptable, but the chaotic spell is not as intense.
