Just watched a recent interview with Jaz and he says it could be 'next year or the year after or something'. So it sounds like they aren't thinking anytime soon.

Not much happening at the moment. Some personal things need ironing out from what i know. But that stays here OK?

I have Killing Jokes first album which is a classic,I also have Revelations, I saw a John Robb interview with Youth last night and I was amazed how many bands Youth has produced,I've never seen Killing Joke live but they must be one of the great bands, nothing quite like them,I have listened to their latest EP and I'm impressed.Lt Kudu.

Most of their albums are definitely worth checking out. I've never seen them live as well.

I think my favourites are Brighter than a thousand suns, Extremities and Pylon but they are all worth a listen.

Yes I agree. I'm not so keen on their metal rock sounding tracks. I actually also really liked the Outside the gate album which is quite experimental for them and quite melodic.

I'd certainly like to see elements of the 80's come back in.
Geordie uses some great chords but when he accented parts through picking, like on Night tIme or Brighter, he shone.
There was a glimmer of hope on the newer recordings.

Yep I agree with that.
