Its about time........2006-04-01

I was at this show and had the original recording on vinyl. Unfortunately like a lot of my vinyl through the university years it got munched or dissappeared at a party. In any event this recording truly deserves to be re-released and its reputation is not exaggerated. The performance was an intense swirling assault on the senses, and this recording captures the night to a tee! I can almost smell the beer soaked floors of good old Larry's Hideaway!!!

Long time coming........2005-08-10

Having been out of print for ages, never seen release on CD, and previously only available on the cassette of "Fire Dances" or as a 10" EP, "Ha!" has grown a legend around it that set the bar pretty high.

Remarkably, it lives up to that. Recorded at a small club in Toronto in the summer of 1982, bassist Raven had just joined the band, replacing the departed Youth, and this brief set (six songs) captures the band catching fire-- the early part of the set is more aggressive, and eventually it settles into more of a groove. The set features one piece from each of their three albums, plus a pair of b-sides and one which was never released in a studio version ("Take Take Take", which sounds like a "Revelations" outtake). Opener "Pssyche" is the real standout here-- vocalist Jaz Coleman positively spits venom during his furious delivery of the lyrics over Big Paul Fergeson's dance beats. Similar inspiration is found on "Wardance", while it focuses more on a mid-tempo groove, again Coleman excels and pulls the piece to new heights.

Also included on this issue is the "Birds of a Feather" single complete with its two b-sides, "Sun Goes Down" and "Flock the B Side". Of these, "Sun Goes Down" is probably the best, with a great beat and moody development, abounding with subtlety and one of the missing gems of the band's catalog. "Birds of a Feather" and remix "Flock the B Side" are not exactly slouches either, but neither have the strength of "Sun Goes Down".

The remastering has certainly done a great job-- while I've never heard the original and can't compare, the live recording sounds fresh and alive, and the studio tracks are superb, loud, and clean. All of this comes with an expanded booklet illustrated by artist Mike Coles, who did the original artwork for the record.

All in all, its quite a good release, perhaps as good an introduction to the band as any, and certainly essential for fans. Recommended.

FINALLY !!!.......2005-08-01

After many years of listening to a hissing tape recording I had of this that was included on the b-side of Killing Joke's Fire Dances lp, this one is finally being re-released as an expanded cd in its own right. In my opinion the very best KJ ever recorded, it captures a fire and urgency they never managed to get in the studio. This just ROCKS ( and I mean that in a good way, not in a dopey dumbed down heavy metal kind of way ). I like it so much I shelled out the extra bucks for an advance copy of the import release a few weeks ago, and it remains in my cd changer in my car. Brilliant. Highly recomended, and an absolutely essential purchase for any Killing Joke fan.
