Re: Killing Joke
They are going to do the tour in two halves. Dates to be rescheduled. Hopefully everyone will get to see them

Re: Killing Joke
I think PYLON is excellent and their best album since the 80s. It's a bit heavy here and there and that normally turns me off but they do it whilst retaiining melody this time. The Deluxe version is really the complete works so that second disc is essential. The album starts weakly but picks up on the second track. The two poppy ones 'Euphoria' and 'Big Buzz' grab you instantly but many others have more depth and are better for it. Topics are interesting - 'Pylons modulating reality' and plenty of mystical, spiritual stuff too. There's clever use of synth sound effects which really add to the vibe. It's sort of how I felt when I bought 'Meninblack'. Loving the concept. It's a winner

I really like the opener Autonomous Zone.

They've just announced a tour for the end of October, beginning November. Definitely Birmingham and possibly London for me.

Re: Killing Joke
I can't wait for their next album. Pylon was superb.
