I'd never seen a KJ video bootleg before, and I just *had* to have one or the other... and then I decided that I might never see another one, so I bought them both.  As I recall, they were £15 and £20 quid.  At the time, I was on the dole, which was about £70 per fortnight.

It's *very* unusual - totally different from anything they've done in the last 30 years.  Harks back to that first EP.  Great that they've taken a musical risk again - it's been far too long.

Some wicked guitar in there.  I could live without some of screechier siren noises, but overall it works really well.  Love the way the guitar blasts in.  This feckin' rocks!
