[kj] Antithesis of Killing Joke

[Darren A. Peace]

I also like drumming. However, a cornerstone album for me is John  
Foxx's Metamatic, which ranks among the most instrumentally sterile I  
own. Deeply majestic.

I am pleased he's reverted to performing it as "Underpass". He told me  
it was changed to "Overpass" live for years because he was fed up of  
people shouting out "Underpants" during the chorus. Oops.
