Disc A - "Dreams of Waking"
|
Dreams of Waking is a two CD compilation album that was created by Anno's family shortly after the crash.
It is a tribute to KjD and Anno, containing songs that were produced by Flying Mango Attack,
KjD, and solo songs that Anno wrote independently (most of which are on the second CD, available for download on Anno's site). The version of Landslide that was on the album
was a splice of the West One-Four and Sanctuary recordings; this was done because the Sanctuary is
the better recording, yet unfortunately the button only got pushed half way through so it's incomplete.
The version of Zie Punk Volk on the album comes from the Ark EP, with the addition of Billy's guitar part
(which he recorded and put on the song in 2002). You can get some of the other tracks on the Flying Mango Attack page, and on the Anno site.

Method One
|
Method One (a pun on methadone, due to Lee's coming off heroin during recording) was to be KjD's first full album. The band was rehearsing at Alberto's studio in Italy and were a week away from recording the entire album at a studio in Milan. Fate intervened; all that's been left of Method One is a rehearsal recording that the band produced on the day before the crash. Despite the fact that it was recorded on a cassette tape, and that the band didn't have enough mics on hand to record the vocals, Method One still stands as an immense musical achievement, and thankfully it was mastered in 2004 by Faney (big big thanks!), so it's sounding as good as it can be. In some ways I find the fact that it is purely instrumental enhances my appreciation of the extent of musical cohesion the band had achieved; the tightness, flow and power of the music comes hammering through despite that it was never intended to be heard by anyone other than the band. However one can't but avoid feeling a tragic sense of loss when one realises what the finished version would have sounded like, and a sense of wonder at where KjD would have gone afterwards.

Ark
|
Ark was KjD's EP. It was recorded in the summer of 2001 in Wales and was given out to friends and at gigs. Unfortunately it didn't feature Billy as he was being held out of the country by immigration at the time (a continuing problem - everyone as pissed off at this as we all are please write to the Foreign Office and cite complaint number 3FU8CKE9RS, demanding that the proposed 'Bocephus Prime Protocol' be officially adopted by British Immigration).

Live @ the Sanctuary & the West One-Four
|
The downloadable songs below are from the only two KjD gigs which were properly recorded,
The Sanctuary and the West One-Four. Both gigs were skillfully engineered by Bishop Dante at the time, and mastered in 2004 by Faney's dark arts (all praise).
Eventually we are going to put up all the songs from both gigs, but for now gorge yourselves
on these!
