There are actually 3 recent Killing Joke singles; "Millenium", "The Pandemonium Single", and "Pandemonium In Dub". Of the 3, "Millenium" has the lowest mix of Techno/Acid/Dub to "normal" mix ratio. All 3 CDs are at home, so I can't give you specifics, but "Millenium" has 2 "normal" straightforward Ministry-cum-Middle Eastern riff-a-rama mixes (like the one that was on MTV's "120 Minutes" last night, alongside a clip of Kraftwerk doing "Pocket Calculator" from the 1981 tour that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, causing me to nearly fall off my chair ... but I digress). For IDM'ers, the "Pandemonium In Dub" single is probably the best bet. A long remix of the old KJ chestnut "Change" courtesy of Kris "Thrash" Weston is included. (I mention this even though Thrash takes great glee in flaming me over on alt.exotic-music and alt.music.brian-eno (-: ) - Greg
