Wall Of Voodoo


Wall of Voodoo were a quirky LA band, with strange synth sounds and Stan Ridgway's warbly voice.  Ridgway left after 2 albums and was replaced by Andy Prieboy, but success eluded them and they lasted just 2 more albums.

Youth - Man of a Thousand Mixes


Wrapping up the Killing Joke posts with the most prolific member - Martin Glover, aka Youth. To list all of the artists he's produced, remixed, or collaborated with would be en entire blog unto itself. He's been behind the boards for hit albums by the likes of The Verve, Crowded House, The Cult, Pink Floyd, Peter Murphy, Echo & The Bunnymen, and his own band, Killing Joke. He's collaborated with Paul McCartney on 3 albums. He ran his own trance label, Dragonfly Records, and Liquid Sound Design, which focuses on psychedelic dub and electronic music. Two of my favorite albums are "East of the Ganges" under the name Kumba Mela Experiment, and Dub Trees' 2000 album.
