The song has several similarities in the use of funk and psychedelic rock , two genres fused in the creation of nu metal. Although Paul Raven musician Paul Raven s bass performance is not as thick as bass usually is in nu metal, the partial melodic tone of Jaz Coleman and the irregular beats of Martin Atkins were key contributors in the development of this new sound. Soundgarden , a well known grunge band, has credited Killing Joke several times as one of their biggest influences. ref name Sounds Kashmir cite journal last first ... more details

Spiritualism small Table Turning or Table Tipping see Ouija board is a type of s ance in which participants sit around a table, place their hands on it, and wait for rotations. The table was purportedly made to serve as a means of communicating with the spirits the alphabet would be slowly called over and the table would tilt at the appropriate letter, thus spelling out words and sentences. History When the movement of Spiritualism religious movement Modern Spiritualism first reached Europe from America in the winter of 1852&ndash 1853, the most popular method of consulting the spirit s was for several persons to sit round a table, with their hands resting on it, and wait for the table to move. If the experiment was successful the table would rotate with considerable rapidity, and would occasionally rise in the air, or perform other movements. Whilst by many the movements were ascribed to the agency of spirits, two investigators&mdash Agenor de Gasparin Count de Gasparin and Marc Thury Professor Thury of Geneva &mdash conducted a careful series of experiments by which they claimed to have demonstrated that the movements of the table were due to a physical force emanating from the bodies of the sitters, for which they proposed the name Ectenic Force ectenic force . Their conclusion rested on the supposed elimination of all known physical causes for the movements but it is doubtful from the description of the experiments whether the precautions taken were sufficient to exclude unconscious muscular action the ideomotor effect or even deliberate fraud. In England table turning became a fashionable diversion and was practised all over the country in the year 1853. John Elliotson Dr. John Elliotson and his followers attributed the phenomena to mesmerism . The general public were content to find the explanation of the movements in spirits, animal magnetism , odic force , galvanism , electricity , or even the rotation of the earth.
