They wrote it in the studio and it was rushed. Geordie said that there was a version with lots of loops etc that was better but Youth took them off.
Needs remixing. I've suggested a remixed version to the label but no one knows where the masters are. Geordie said he would do it.
I really didn't get it when it was released, but over the years it's got better. Aeon is a classic that was ruined by the mix. Can barely hear Jaz (that makes a change!!!)

2003 is superb. It's one of those KJ albums, like Extremities, that announced a forceful return. Looking forward to the tour.

A better mix of Democracy would be great. I doubt if it would happen though. There so e good stuff on there that should sound much better. The 2003 album has some great stuff on it too but I think the second half of it is quite weak for them.

Some of those albums had Jaz shouting a lot rather than singing . More lately he has reverted to singing which I find helps . My favourite album is still Pandemonium , not a fan favourite by any means though .
