[kj] BTATS

[S. Sorensen]

<<<I can't agree that KJ sold out on BTATS no
Nighttime. I think they were 
trying to change their sound. If BTATS hadn't been
mixed with the 
keyboards to 11, then it would have sounded like a
different album. Although 
NWOBFG was a bad live release it did have a
particularly good (and 
almost instrumental) version of chessboards which
shows that with the 
keyboards lower in the mix BTATS came off pretty good.

You know, the funny thing about that record is when
you play it very loud it really kicks ass. By some
alchemical process the keyboards fall back in the mix
behind the drums and guitars. The only sissy cut on
that is A Southern Sky, or ASS as I like to call it.
That was just Jaz getting all maudlin and was an
unfortunate foreshadowing of OTG.

BTATS is a great album to play very, very loud in your
car on a freeway. I think it really gets a bad rap. To
me KJ only made one bad record- OTG. And its not even
a KJ record at all.
