I really don't see this as a Killing Joke records at all.
The music is much more "up " than Killing Joke.

Marc and I were talking about this on Friday. We both see "singing" on it. Real singing, not Jaz's gutteral roar!

There's a great basis there but it's not an album yet.
I would be braver and go for the choruses. Make 'em big!!

The worst thing anyone could do would to think of this as a Killing Joke record (don't mean to single you out Oliver). That could only disappoint (see Murder inc for disappointment).

I thought the same thing -- just add Jaz's vocals to these demos and 
you'd have fine Killing Joke songs. Only keep the instrumentation the 
same, and make Jaz work within the parameters of these songs as they're 
already laid out, and not add this or that because Jaz says so and he's 
the guru. In other words, ask him to tailor his lyrics, vocals, to fit 
into these instrumental demos' existing structure.

But from all I have heard about Jaz's megalomania that is a pretty steep 
favor to ask of him.
