as for Ribbon of Darkness, well, i don't like either GG1 medley

Gord had not wanted to cut short IYCRMM for a Grammy's performance, so why he would cut short ROD, DSMMN, FLM and INS on his own album is beyond me

i like all the originals except I prefer the second version (of the 3) of CRT

i do like the slower tempo of some of the re-recordings...for instance, High and Dry (and it up a half tone) but not Gord's voice, the keys and the production in GG2

i really don't like Circle is Small re-recording at all...where did the angst go
