[kj] Pylon

[Jon H]

First post to this list after years of reading it. Been a follower of KJ since the start and Pylon is outstanding. Remarkable that they still do this after so many years. The reasons why are summed up well in the album review on Louder Than War.
I read on the list that Jaz tries too hard to be the stereotype looney - a fellow KJ fan once referred  to him as 'the pantomime dame' - harsh but funny.

That makes me thankful. But discovering that (IMHO, of course) they've produced an album good enough to stand up next to EDAVRE and Night Time... Well, I'm a lot more than thankful.
