[kj] Roundhouse

[Jim Harper]

Alas, I can buy Jaz as a Stanley Kubrick fan. I don't understand it, but it sort of makes sense. 

Jim.

 "The Eyes Wide Shut music is by
 Jocelyn Pook and its called Masked Ball from
  Flood which is quite a good album.  Killing Joke used it
 way before the
 film!!!!!"
 
 
 
 I don't want to start shit; only to respectfully
 point out that "Masked Ball" by Jocelyn Pook was
 written specifically for the... masked ball scene in
 "Eyes Wide Shut" and was based on a previous piece
 she had written called "Backwards Priests" in
 1997.
  Her album "Flood" came out in 1999, the same year
 as the movie. KJ often mix it with the "Blade
 Runner" track by Vangelis.
 
 
 
 
 As always, I welcome rebuttals from the better
 informed.

 Went with my mate Ben, who isn't a massive kj fan,
 but he does like Jah Wobble and we got into the venue just
 before Wobble came on stage. Id never seen him live before.
 Brilliant support act for killing joke, very entertaining
 and the crowd seemed appreciative.
 
 
 
 I must admit, Ive fallen out of love with killing joke
 in recent years. Cant say that the last few albums have
 really done much for me, apart from the odd couple of songs
 here and there. My initial reaction to the new album was
 much the same. However,
  ive been listening to it a lot while driving about for work
 and its really grown on me. Some of the tracks which I
 initially rejected have now become firm favourites. Into the
 Unknown for one. Live, this was the highlight of my night.
 Disappointed they didn't
  play Delete, which is definitely the best on the album in
 my opinion. Exorcism was fantastic, also Fall of  Because
 and Madness, but I don't think anyone would be too
 disappointed if they dropped Asteroid from the set
 entirely.
 
 
 
 We were standing just inside the ring of pillars and
 the sound there wasn't too bad actually. Big Paul
 sounded immense, vocals were clear, Geordie could have been
 a little higher in the mix but you could still hear what he
 was doing, Youth was just a rumble
  though. Not the best sound but Ive heard them sounding a
 lot worse.
 
 
 
 Bumped into Antoni outside for a brief chat then headed
 back to Bens place just off Holloway Road, where we
 proceeded to get right royally shit-faced and I finally
 crashed out on the floor about 4 o'clock. Got up the
 next day to find not one, but TWO parking
  tickets on my car! 130 fucking quid! 
 
 
 
 Oh well, we still had a great night

 So, the
 setlist:
 
 
 
 
 The Wait
 Autonomous Zone
 The Fall of Because
 Eighties
 Beautiful Dead
 I Am the Virus
 Exorcism
 Change
 Money Is Not Our God
 Requiem
 Dawn of The Hive
 Panopticon
 Wardance
 Into The Unknown
 Asteroid
 Pssyche
 
 
 
 Encore:
 Turn To Red
 Madness
 Love Like Blood
 Pandemonium
 
 
 
 
 I
 was seated upstairs - front seat, great view, but still
 slightly sad not to be getting sweaty and battered down the
 front.
 
 
 
 The
 track I was most looking forward to, based on recent
 setlists, was Delete, so it was a bit galling that they
 dropped it... on the other hand, several less-recent numbers
 were absolute stormers,
  so overall no complaints!  Particularly good ones for me
 were:
 
 
 
 Fall
 of Because (the first KJ track that really grabbed me, all
 those years ago)
 Eighties
 Beautiful
 Dead
 I
 am the Virus
 Change
 Pssyche
 
 
 
 Contrary
 to expectations, I rather enjoyed Wardance and
 Pandemonium.  The former certainly got a large section of
 the crowd going.
 
 
 
 The
 sound was a bit disappointing.  Too loud, I thought, and
 Geordie's guitar didn't really come through in all
 its glory.  Especially disappointing for LLB, which lives
 and dies on the guitar.
 
 
 
 Best
 thing was probably having such a great view of the whole
 band, all the way back to Big Paul.  He was absolutely
 pounding those drums... fearsome energy all the way
 through.
 
 
 
 Cheers,
 
 
 
 Jamie
