[kj] democracy remaster

[god botherer]

Pilgrimage and Absent Friends are great, great songs, albeit virtually 
neutered by the most appalling production. Listen again. There is true 
passion there.

I won't argue with your views on Lanterns and Another Bloody Election 
however - two of the worst KJ tracks ever committed to vinyl.

As for KJ 2003 - great production, great drumming, and no really bad tracks, 
but we all know it wasn't the authentic KJ - too much looking to the market.

Perhaps they're just about to get it right?
