>>Day 1 ..............11/11/09

>>After an intensive weekend of flights, setting up gear and sound

>>checking equipment.....recording has begun on the new killing Joke

>>album.The first time with the original lineup of Jaz, Geordie, Big

>>Paul and Youth for over 26 years!

>>The weight of massive expectation hung heavy in the air and was felt

>>by everyone on sunday whilst we were setting up.

>>Clive our engineer, arms flailing whilst head burrowed in a mixing

>>desk... barking commands to his under prepared assistants,

>>who were doing their best to avoid eye contact with the intimidating

>>individual band members .Each demanding their own special attention

>>with the frenzied intensity generally reserved for a firm of armed

>>bank robbers on a job!

>>After deftly circumnavigating the usual computer / mixing desk /

>>technical gremlins a circle was cast and the opening ceremony commenced.

>>We are in the legendary Britannia Row studio complex in SW London,

>>very close to an ancient sacred burial site on the banks of the

>>river Thames and the ceremony reflected this. More details of this

>>will be posted on the KJ website .

>>Playing together in the studio again was like one huge coiled iron

>>spring being released after almost 30 years of being slowly wound up!

>>In between laying down some explorative takes ,heated debate was

>>insuing as to which production philosophy we should employ as to how

>>to best capture this vast sound. This isn't as straight forward as

>>it may seem as we are collectively producing the album together and

>>all have vastly different and contrasting ideas and philosophies as

>>to how we should achieve our shared vision.....of course this is

>>what gives us our unique chemistry and you can rest assured we do

>>not shy away from it.

>>Tired, drained and emotionally drawn, we called an early night after

>>Jaz had one asthma inhaler hit too many and wanted to re-record

>>everything we did that day again from the beginning!

>>It was a good call as when we re commenced early monday morning,

>>refreshed and recharged, we immediately realized the tempo of the

>>track was way too slow.

>>After referencing some Bonham drum tracks for sound and tonal

>>quality ...clive had Big Paul sounding like an primordial grunting

>>warthog, stuck in the mud with spears in his back....so heavy the

>>walls were shaking from the sonic thunder !

>>This put everyone in an extremely good mood and the arrangement and

>>performance came together very quickly.

>>A majestic ,thuggish and unrelenting rhythm track manifested !

>>Geordie pulled a couple of other banjos out the bag and we

>>overdubbed some vicious, tetradactyl protecting her babies, white

>>lightning guitar takes.

>>A filthy bass was corrected and then Jaz got weighed in with some

>>disturbing synth layers .

>>By 9 pm the track was sounding so razor tight and with a delicious

>>malicious punch, we were all jumping around the room with big grins

>>on our faces, partly from the relief it was all coming together but

>>also from the sheer joy of hearing the chemistry unleashed once more.

>>We then decided to record a totally spontaneous jam utilizing a

>>manifesto of the barest economy of notes and restraint

>>whilst applying intensity of emotion to compensate the musical

>>minimalism. directly invoking and referencing our former producer

>>Conny Plank philosophy of his work with Kraftwerk, Can and Neu!

>>Three takes later and an epic study in restraint and release was

>>realized and i left the studio tonight elated and exulted from the

>> experience.
