My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult
This page is dedicated to my favorite band of all time. Although I don't always listen to their albums all the time now, they're the single band I've followed the most and own the most albums of (15 total).

Actually, since I created this page years ago, TKK has come out with another album, The Reincarnation of Luna, from 2001. It is pretty good--most similar to 13 Above the Night, I would say. I also recently saw them live in Philadelphia, and I have to say this group is way over the hill. :-(
Links
This is an annotated list of TKK pages that are much kooler than mine.

Sanatarium BorderlineThis site is the original TKK site. It is not the most comprehensive site out there currently, but it was the start to TKK on the web.
The TKK webring page. This site is the home of the TKK webring, which most of these sites belong to.
This site, The Velvet Edge, is extremely awesome other than the fact that the little tripod window pops up at every click. But this site is great for discography, pictures, news, videos, music clips...everything.
The Mindway is another good site for the usual--pictures, discography, etc.
America's Most Dangerous Kult is a nice TKK site with a really cool moving graphic thing in the beginning.
TKK kids is a site where you send in your picture and a profile if you're a TKK fan--and they put you on the site!
The Klub C'est Sable is a relatively new TKK site that isn't very developed yet, but it has recipies for TKK-based drinks...! Now that is cool.
Cigarettes and Purple Pillz...is a really outdated website that never got very developed...but they quoted Death Ride 69!
Shock of Point 6 is under construction, but I think it's been that way for a while.
The TKK bbs on Imusic. This is somewhere I used to spend a lot of time at, but I haven't been there recently. Here you'll find a lot of people who might even maintain some of these pages I posted above!
Albums
I've included here all of the TKK albums that I own, but not all of the albums that are out there. For a better TKK discography and to see where I got these images, from, visit this site.

I See Good Spirits and I See Bad Spirits
I See Good Spirits and I See Bad Spirits album cover 1. Heresy
2. X-Communication
3. Do You Fear (For Your Child)?
4. Easy Girl
5. Universal Blackness
6. ...And This Is What the Devil Does
7. These Remains
8. On This Rack
9. Gateway to Hell
10. Scene One, Seen 'Em All
This album is TKK's first full length album and the second album I bought of theirs. It was released in 1988 and contains more of their darker stuff. As you might be able to tell from the song titles, the songs are mostly about hell and satan.


KOOLER THAN JESUS
Kooler 
than Jesus album cover 1. Kooler than Jesus
2. Devil Bunnies
3. Nervous Xians
4. The Devil Does Drugs
5. First Cut
6. Shock of Point 6
7. Resisting the Spirit
Kooler than Jesus is much like I See Good Spirits and I See Bad Spirits in its content and subject matter focused on satan. However, some of the songs, like Kooler than Jesus and Devil Bunnies, are much more comical than anything you'd find on Spirits. This 1989 album is TKK's second full release, compiled from two earlier short albums.


Days of Swine and Roses/Naive
KMFDM/TKK remixes album cover 1. Naive (KMFDM) remixed and performed by TKK
2. The Days of Swine and Roses (TKK) remixed and performed by KMFDM
This is a single from 1990 where TKK and KMFDM redid and performed each other's songs. It's interesting to compare the two to the original versions.


Confessions of a Knife
Confessions of a Knife album cover 1. A Daisy Chain for Satan
2. The Days of Swine and Roses
3. Hand In Hand
4. Waiting for Mommie
5. Confessions of a Knife (Theme Part I)
6. Ride the Mindway
7. Rivers of Blood, Years of Darkness
8. Kooler than Jesus (Electric Messiah Mix)
9. Burning Dirt
10. Confessions of a Knife (Theme Part II)
11. Do You Fear (The Inferno Express?)

This album has the distinct character: as the name implies, the songs are mostly about killing. Some songs, such as A Daisy Chain for Satan and Ride the Mindway have a drug-feeling. In general, this album is livelier than some of the earlier stuff. It was released in 1990.


A Girl Doesn't Get Killed By a Make-Believe Lover...'Cuz It's Hot
'Cuz It's Hot album cover 1.A Girl Doesn't Get Killed By a Make-Believe Lover...'Cuz It's Hot
2. A Daisy Chain 4 Satan
This is a single with a remix of A Daisy Chain for Satan released in 1990.


SEXPLOSION!
Sexplosion! album cover 1. The International Sin Set
2. Leathersex
3. A Martini Built for 2
4. Dream Baby
5. Mood No. 6
6. Sexplosion
7. Princess of the Queens (The Lost Generation)
8. Sex On Wheelz
9. A Continental Touch
10. Mystery Babylon
11. Sex On Wheelz (motor city remix)
This album is very different from the ones preceeding it. All of a sudden TKK's style changes from industrial to techno/dance. All of these songs are about sex--as reflected in the lyrics and the feeling of the music. This was the 3rd TKK album I bought and one that really sucked me into the band. It is an excellent album. The version I don't own came out in 1991, and the version I own was released in 1992. Rykodisk recently rerelased some TKK albums, and this was one of them. The new version contains a few new tracks. This came out in 1999 and I own it as well. I'm not going to put up the picture of the cover, because it's the same!


SEXPLOSION! Single
Sexplosion! single album cover 1. Sexplosion! (The Long Mix)
2. Sexplosion! (Radio Mix)
3. Sexplosion! (I Like to Watch Mix)
4. Sexplosion! (Orgazm Mix)
This album takes what's probably the best song on Sexplosion! and redoes it 4 times! I actually only have the tape version of this, but it of course is still awesome.


13 Above the Night
13 Above the Night album cover 1. The Velvet Edge
2. Delicate Terror
3. Badlife
4. Dirty Little Secrets
5. China de Sade
6. Dimentia 66
7. Final Blindness
8. Blue Buddah
9. Starmartyr
10. Electrical Soul Wish
11. 13 Above the Night
12. Disko Fleshpot
13. Savage Sexteen
This is arguably TKK's best album. It was the first album I bought of theirs and I had never heard music like it before. The mood of this album is very distinctive, but at the same time very hard to explain. It has slightly a drug mood to it, but mostly an outer space, liquid, futuristic mood to it. The music is mostly techno and electronic sounding, but not at all like the usual repetitive rhythms you find in that genre. The lyrics are...totally out there. Even the artwork on the cover and inside the album contributes to the mood of the music. To people who are testing out this band, I recommend this album to start with. It was released in 1993, but the more common version you'd find in stores would be the Rykodisk re-release from 1999, which also has two bonus tracks with good remixes of Electrical Soul Wish and Blue Buddha.


HIT AND RUN HOLIDAY
Hit and Run Holiday album cover 1. Hit and Run Holiday
2. Glamour is a Rocky Road
3. Portrait of the Damned
4. Apollo 69
5. Chemical Cop-Out
6. Babylon Drifter
7. Hottest Party in Town
8. Golden Strip
9. The Doris Love Club
10. Mindcage
11. Mr. Eleganza
12. Universal Luxury
13. Hot Blood Risin'
14. Mission: Stardust
15. The Last Ride Out
This album is very good at bringing moods and images to mind. The music and the lyrics together tell a story throughout the entire albumabout dancing, driving, parties, clubs, and drugs. This album seems to be from a girl's perspective more than any of the others--future or past--do. It is one of TKK's best. It contains some of their very best songs, but since the songs are so similar some people complain of getting sick of it when listening to it all at once. I'd recommend this to someone starting out listening to TKK who's not so much into heavier music. This is the "lightest" album TKK has. The original release was in 1995, but like Sexplosion! and 13 Above the Night, this album was re-relased in 1999 and is pretty easy to find in stores...no bonus tracks, though. :(


HIT AND RUN HOLIDAY Single
Confessions of a Knife album cover 1. LP Version
2. New Bridge Version (on the Flinstones soundtrack)
3. 12-inch version
4. Jazz Dub
OK, I lied. The picture here is for an album I don't own. I own the Hit and Run Holiday promo single, which is what the track listing is that I posted. There isn't a cover, though, and so I put up this one since I think it's much of the same thing.


A Crime for all Seasons
A Crime For All Seasons album cover 1. Fangs of Love
2. Dope Doll Jungle
3. Sexy Sucker
4. Blondes with Lobotomy Eye
5. Lucifer's Flowers
6. Yesterday's Void
7. Feel the Bite
8. The Twilight Web
9. Mr & Mrs Bottomless Pit
10. Blue Moon
In 1997 TKK switched record labels to Red Ant and released this album. It goes back to their heavier stuff, successfully combining the music of 13 Above the Night with the mood of I See Good Spirits and I See Bad Spirits and Confessions of a Knife.


SEXY SUCKER
Sexy Sucker album cover 1. Sexy Sucker Carnal Gnarlege mix
2. Sexy Sucker Suck It mix
3. Sexy Sucker Long & Hard mix
4. Sexy Sucker Thrust mix
5. Lucifer's Flowers Hardcore mix
These are two of my three favorite songs on A Crime for All Seasons. (my other favorite is Feel The Bite) But the remixes aren't nearly as good.


SOME HAVE TO DANCE...SOME HAVE TO KILL.
Some Have to Dance...Some Have to Kill album cover 1. Sexy Sucker
2. The Devil Does Drugs
3. A Girl Doesn't Get Killed By A Make Believe Lover...'Cuz It's Hot
4. Kooler Than Jesus
5. A Daisy Chain For Satan
6. Leathersex
7. Sex On Wheelz (Danger Baby mix)
8. Final Blindness
9. Blue Buddha (Ultra Flesh mix)
10. Glamour Is a Rocky Road (live mix)
11. Lucifer's Flowers
This is a compliation of the "best" of TKK. I put that in quotes because I didn't make the album and I wouldn't have necessarily choosen the same things...however, it's pretty hard to go wrong with TKK and they picked things from all of the albums.


Dirty Little Secrets: music to strip by
Dirty Little Secrets album cover 1. Dirty Little Secrets "Lula's Lounge" mix
2. Stripper's Only "China's" mix
3. Hard, Fast, & Beautiful "Tight" mix
4. Operation Sex Trip "High Heels" mix
5. Eight of Space "Dreamer's" mix
6. Babylon Drifter "Pusher" mix
7. A Martini Built for 2 "Daddy O" mix
8. Dimentia 66 "Cherry's" mix
9. Wasted Time "Lap Dance" mix
10. Doris Love Club "Lizard" mix
11. Hungry Venus "BlueBoy" mix
12. Sexplosion "Orgazm" mix
13. Naked In the Grass "Scorpio's" mix
14. Golden Strip "Bomb Gang Gilz" mix
15. Starlet Street "JJ's" mix
16. The International Sin Set "Rhonda Bond" mix
17. Dirty Little Secrets "Kiss the Boys" mix
18. Hard, Fast & Beautiful "Club Ex" mix
This is TKK's most recent release from late in 1999. Some tracks are new, some are old, and all are redone. The mood is most like Hit and Run Holiday--a techno, dance, girly feel. Even if you already have most of these songs from other albums, this is still a great album to have because the remixes can be very different and very cool.
