Killing Joke – Alchemy – The Remixes 1996

“The mysteries of sound is revealed in a synthesis of projected intent, tension, release, vision of light, fusion and unity; this is alchemy in its most tribal and intoxication incarnation. The pounding bass of dub, soaring metallic guitars and the melting electronic pulses of trance collude and collide in this bubbling cauldron of magical remixes; a few drops of this potent brew could change your life forever”.

I love this EP! I almost see it as an Orb release, Most of the tracks are Remixed by the Orb and Ex. Orb members track 1. Requiem (A Floating Leaf Always Reaches The Sea Mix) Is remixed by Kris Weston, he is truly brilliant working those machines! Look out for his Jazzy Spaced-Out track on Coppé’s forthcoming album.

Track 3. Pandemonium (The Dragonfly Mix) is produced by Greg Hunter, this man is a knob twiddler out of this world anything with his seal on it smells high quality electronica from fare away. He’s been producing numerous Orb tracks as we all know.

Track 5. Millennium (Back To Orion Mix) Is also the work of Greg Hunter, an amazing Juno Reactor Remix. Track 6 & 7 credited Greg Hunter and Youth.

And finally track 8. Democracy (Russian Tundra Mix) Remixed by The Orb credited as “Le Petite Orb”  This track is available elsewhere to but it completes this EP and is like a concussion, a grand finale if you like.
