In the mids there was something in the water. And indeed these two members have been the sole constant members of Killing Joke throughout the years. Ah, to hear that one live! The lyrics are poetry: Advertisement. They were, they said, the musicians for its soundtrack.

Brighter Than a Thousand Suns — the book about the development of the atomic bomb. A guilty KJ pleasure if there ever was one.

It fared less well, and only reached 70 in the UK. I used to really dislike this album. And as fraught with memories of conflict as it was, so did most of the band. My favorite Killing Joke LP is still their first, self-titled album because of both its raw power and its outside-the-box thinking in its approach to punk and postpunk. For the longest time, I viewed BTATS the way the band seems to — as a kind of side track and an embarrassment, too refined and over-produced to represent the true raw power of the Joke.

There are a lot of fans that hope Killing Joke return to the style and engage in further sonic explorations along the lines charted in BTATS. There is some brilliant stuff there. Not many could do it, or have done it, the way that Killing Joke did. But the stiff, mechanical beats on the immediately following "Sanity" -- a ridiculous substitution of Ferguson 's undisputed abilities -- sets the tone for the remainder of Brighter Than a Thousand Suns , an effort ultimately dialed in rather than performed.

The sound-alike quality of nearly all the songs -- especially ironic considering the accomplished genre-hopping on the earliest records -- renders Killing Joke its own unfortunate parody in the end. AllMusic relies heavily on JavaScript.

While it is definitely depressing to know that bassist Paul Raven is no longer with us and will no longer be lending his talents to various bands, we can all take comfort in his extensive back catalog full of gems such as this album.

Throughout his life he played a wide spectrum of musical styles, from the precision metal of Prong to the industrial metal of Ministry and Godflesh , to post-punk weirdness with Murder Inc.
