Produced by Chris Kimsey, it is perhaps the most recognized Killing Joke song to date,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Killing Joke at Last.fm )〕 though that honor may well belong to "Eighties".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Killing Joke songs in the IMDB )〕 The song was characterized by elements of gothic rock〔NME. (''Release The Bats - It's The 20 Greatest Goth Tracks'' ). By Luke Lewis « 11. Killing Joke – Love Like Blood Aligning love and sex with blood is a standard goth trope, but Jaz Coleman's lyrics always cut deeper than the usual 'doomed romance' cliches. On this 1985 single, one of the few times KJ ever troubled 'Top Of The Pops', he uses martial imagery to create a sense of apocalyptic struggle. Most gothic moment: "Strength and beauty destined to decay". »〕 and new wave.〔 "A more reserved and melodic direction that scored gothic-tinged new-wave hits ('Love Like Blood')".〕 == Releases == "Love Like Blood" was originally released by E.G. Records in January 1985 as a 12" in the UK, and a 12" maxi single in Germany. The 7" single on E.G. was released in the UK, the Netherlands, and Germany. Polydor also released a 12" single in the Netherlands and a 12" maxi single in France. E.G. Records' 12" and 12" maxi singles’ A-sides featured the track "Love Like Blood (Version)", a different version of the song, and as B-sides, the radio version of "Love Like Blood" and "Blue Feather (Version)", the same track list as Polydor’s release. E.G.'s 12" maxi single, released in Germany, featured the same tracks, as did Polydor’s maxi single released in France. E.G.’s 7” single exempted "Love Like Blood (Version)" and instead featured the radio version of "Love Like Blood" as the A-side. E.G. also released "Love Like Blood (Gestalt Mix)" in the UK as a 12" single. It replaced "Love Like Blood (Version)" with the remix as an A-side, and was limited to only 2000 copies. It later appeared on the 2008 reissue of ''Night Time'', along with a completely different version of "Blue Feather" that did not appear on any of the releases of "Love Like Blood". "Love Like Blood" was reissued in 1998 as a 12" single by Butterfly Records, as a live remix, alongside a remix of the song "Intellect" from Killing Joke’s 11th studio album, ''Democracy''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Love Like Blood )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Love Like Blood (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
