[kj] remasters

[Jiri]

I'm with the one who's with the one who's with his fat northern namesake.

And Greg, to pretend the lyrics on OTG are better than BTATS just 
confirms to me that as a boy you were beaten by a BTATS-playing 
curly-perm'd monster. Lyrically, BTATS has its silly moments, but it far 
outshines OTG (again), which is a trainwreck for the poetic word.

But opposite to you i rate "Sanity" very low (i usually skip it), i hate those -right- too cheesy keyboards; but all the rest of the tracks are pretty good. "Adorations", "Chessboards", "Victory", "Rubicon", "Goodbye to the village" and "Exile" are imho outstanding.
