[kj] Gathering Digest, Vol 83, Issue 83

[Brendan Quinn]

Oh I love Pandemonium. There's all sorts here. And there's no general
consensus that In Excelsis sucks. Far from it. There's even fans of Outside
the Gate and Hosannas, the later has some excuse, the former only like it
cos he had a random peak experience with a cape-wearing Jaz playing OTG for
him on cassette in his Mini or VW or something on the way to see his Mum in
Cheltenham (Jaz that is) so he feels obliged to say it's okay, but I know
from firsthand experience that he actually has some taste in music =)

 

PS: Darren, what colour was the cape...just out of interest.

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.
