Label GB

'the courtauld talks' was the eighth album by killing joke. this album was different from the group's other releases since it is essentially a spoken word album, with the addition of electric guitar and percussion. these are original copies of the album first released in 1989. instead of being a straight forward album of western music, it is more of a spoken word piece with the occasional sound effect or musical interlude that is used to accentuate the ideas behind the hour long speech entitled 'the courtauld talks'. the premise of the speech is to discuss the boundaries of music, the ability to smash those boundaries, and the justification of the artist to freely break down those boundaries to influence society as a whole. for whatever reason, killing joke has chosen to try and justify their musical position in history with this speech.
