[kj] OTG; ruminations on remaster - lyric

[Paul Richards]

I hadn't listened to OTG since EDAVRE (if not earlier).

I went to the Porchester Halls gig, with the thought that if they played 
stuff that sounded like OTG, then that was it: Killing Joke were history 
for me.

They started with Extremities. Nuff said!

I had totally forgotten most of OTG - I recalled My Love of This Land & 
Obsession mainly due to "For Beginners"

One listen has imprinted it all back on my mind, & it's not half as bad 
as remember. I dismissed it as 8 versions of Under A Southern Sky (which 
I hate - see last post).

It has it's moments. I had forgotten the later part of "The Calling" 
where the key drops & drops, until, for one bar, you get what sounds 
like Wardance.

I'm not one for lyrics, but there's a line on this lp that I've never 
forgotten, & and use as Mantra in times of stress. Perhaps I should use 
it as my signature;

DON'T LOSE YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR, ENTERTAIN THE WILDEST THOUGHTS.

cheers
