	Fire Dances New - LP - EGMD 5 Sealed 1983 USA Original. "After Stalling A Bit With Their 1982 Album Revelations, Killing Joke Nearly Split Up, With Lead Singer Jaz Coleman Disappearing To Iceland In Order To "Survive The Apocalypse." By The Time Coleman Returned To The Band, Bassist Youth Was Gone And Replaced By Paul Raven, A Perfect Fit Who Would Stay On Board As The Band Found Its Way Up The Charts Over The Next Few Releases. As A Reaction To All These Comings And Goings, This Is A Decidedly Tribal Album That Opens With A Track Called "The Gathering," Follows It With The "Join The Mob" Anthem "Fun & Games," And Features Words Like "We" And "Us" Throughout The Album. The Ultimate Communal Moment, "Let's All Go (To The Fire Dances)," Is Also The Key Track, With Guitarist Geordie Walker Bouncing Between Crunching Barre Chords And A Duane Eddy-on-steroids Riff While Raven And Drummer Paul Ferguson Throb Like A Veteran Rhythm Section. Even If Coleman's Lyrics Are Filled With Venom As Always, He's Rounding Up Allies To Fight The System Here And Considering The Idea Of Connecting With His Audience Rather Than Just Confronting Them. Fire Dances Bridges Killing Joke's Primal Past With Their More Melodic, Accessible Future And Without Compromising Any Of Their Thunder." David Jeffries, AMG more

"Amazingly, Killing Joke — Jaz And Geordie —Reformed Yet Again In 1994, This Time Reclaiming The Group's Rhythmic Roots Through The Return Of Original Bassist Youth. Led By The Engrossing Minor Hit "Millennium," Pandemonium Is A Significant Upgrade From Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions.

The Crunching Title Track Illustrates How Coleman's Affection For Middle Eastern Scales Yields A Zeppelin-Like Rock Result; Those Elements Meld Regally With Tangerine Dream-State Synthesizer On "Labyrinth," While The Exhilarating Techno Drive Of "Whiteout" Shows Their Acolytes How A Joke Is Properly Told." - Trouserpress.Com more

	What's This For...! Used Import - 28MM 0051 1981 Japan pressing without Obi. "What's THIS For...! showed that Killing Joke could maintain their frenetic, doom-wracked intensity while experimenting with their already strongly established style. Jaz Coleman's vocals go through even more treatments and tweaks than before, chorus shout-alongs swathed in deep echoes, hidden behind Geordie Walker's punishing riffs and the steroid-driven rhythm section. Big Paul Ferguson in particular lays down some absolutely skull-crushing drum slams and Youth is no less intense at most parts, and often they rather than Coleman or Geordie dictate the song, as the lengthy death-groove of "Madness" makes perfectly clear. Elsewhere Geordie shows a calmer (comparatively) side, soloing on songs like "Butcher" making common cause with the guitar work of Bernard Sumner in Joy Division days -- indeed, the song as a whole could almost be a tribute to that band, and one of the better ones at that. The playing around with supposed genre boundaries doesn't hurt either -- the beatbox/synth loop pulse of "Follow the Leaders," crossed with the more brusque blasts from the core band, suggests its eventual path in later years, while "Tension" lets the slithering funk heart of the band burst forth even more strongly. (The drums and opening riffs themselves almost sound like a parody of the Knack's "My Sharona.") "Unspeakable" is arguably the hidden highlight of the album, Coleman's heavily flanged, distorted singing sliding down a slowly descending chord pattern that suggests an early glam band gone martial and paranoid, Ferguson all over his set like four people at once. The debts of later bands toward Killing Joke are even clearer than ever, whether it's the fact a group named themselves after the opening track, "The Fall of Because," or that late-'80s Ministry so effectively cloned the whole style on songs like "Burning Inside."
