[kj] Gathering Digest, Vol 83, Issue 83

[Dominico C]

I just received my CD In Excelsis EP a few days ago. Sorry to disappoint the rest of the Gatherers, but I liked it and found it to be the best KJ recording in 16 years!!! It Rocks!!! 

Oh, ... yeah... I am a Democracy and Pandemonium fan, along with most of the back catalog. No, its not reflecting on the back catalog, its not old joke, but that's why I love about the Joke.... They are always growing!!! 

In Excelsis ROCKS!!!

I love the Dub tracks and I hear a lot of Democracy similarities and in my opinion, it was mixed very well.- Unlike Hossanas. And I found the new recordings are way more consistent than the last 2 albums! 

The Absolute Descent and In Excelsis recordings should have been the successor to Democracy.
