Killing Joke - "Ha" Killing Joke Live download

The first Killing Joke recording following the orignal band's implosion in february 1982 the reasons for which were widely reported and remain subjects of debate nearly 25 years later. Punk icon Youth was no longer present, (reports of his being found wandering naked and confused in london streets made the music press and he went on to found 'Brilliant' and tour with Bauhaus), and was replaced on bass by Paul Raven who had previously been seen wearing 'fashionable leopard skin' clothing on the sleeve of a Neon Hearts LP. Raven added a tighter and more sinuous, maybe even 'poppier' side to the band's rhythms, but debatably at the cost of a slight loss to the intensity of the live performances.
