Press Quotes
Killing Joke was that rarest of things: a truly unique punk band. Their music was harsh and angry and confrontational, but also dense, swirling and sometimes surprisingly melodic. So what would lead someone to want to give that band's music the dubwise treatment? Here it's important to understand that Killing Joke's original bassist, Martin Glover (better known as Youth), has a longstanding connection to experimental techno and dub reggae and has made a huge name for himself as a producer in that vein. So really, it was the most natural thing in the world for him to dive back into the Killing Joke catalog and reinterpret it through the dub lens. To be clear, this is not a reggae album, though a couple of tracks do incorporate skanking dancehall backbeats: it's a re-envisioning of classic KJ material like 'Bloodsport,' 'Change,' and 'I Am the Virus' with radically remixed instrumental and vocal parts and lots of new effects. I somehow slept on Volume I and now need to seek it out...
