[kj] Undersung KJ songs

[Jiri]

Agree. I'm a Democracy apologist (I think the guitar on Medicine Wheel 
and Pilgrimage is underappreciated sweetness), but Aeons and Savage 
Freedom are clearly the two highlights most worth salvaging from that album.

Undersung elsewhere: it's hard to pick and choose on an album chock-full 
of such meliflousness, but Feast of Blaze has long been my archetype 
from Fire Dances. Between storming verse and dipping chorus, it's the 
classic unpleasantly beautiful ride over hills and valleys from 
Geordie's guitar. I could be bedridden with ailments, and the first 
chords of that song would still force me up and move me to sprint around 
the block, conscripting celebrants for an impromptu feast. Sitting still 
for that song is physically impossible; I take care not to play it while 
I'm on a plane, lest my reaction put me on a Homeland Security watchlist.

I'm not a big supporter of the DEMOCRACY record, but **OOF** does this track ever cook. Sure, it's a bit busy (was the acoustic guitar necessary?), but with the possible exception of "Aeon," it's the best thing on the album.
