[kj] reasons why BTATS is gash

I'm surprised know one else has mentioned Wintergardens. It's one of my all
time favs. Great drums, haunting keyboards and screeching guitar. A great
all round track for me. Ecstasy was always another I liked (cue Mr Arse).
Imagine OTG without having BTATS first. We needed some kinda preparation for
that one surely!

  i think if i'd been a joker since day one i'd have been disappointed with
it (and the tour would have been a total let-down), but since i didn't get
into them until '88 (of all years) that wasn't the case. the main problem
seems to be that's when jaz started taking over. it's the only album the
remixes of which i actually prefer. as with jamie potanga, it also has to
power to take me back in time emotionally. you're too harsh on 'rubicon'.
can't fault 'chessboards' at all. both singles yielded at least one
excellent remix. 'victory' i still like, though i see where you're coming
from. the only one i really just can't abide is 'exile'. ('a southern sky' i
have blanked out of my mind completely, so that doesn't count.) the gatefold
inner of the 'adorations' 7" double-pack surely has to be their nadir in
terms of commercialisation?
