over The Church's declining chart success had made the situation intolerable. Koppes would eventually return to guest with the band on their 1996 album Magician Among the Spirits and rejoined permanently in 1997. Despite its muted reception at the time of release, Priest=Aura is considered by both the band and fan base to be an artistic high point. In 2011 the album, along with Untitled #23 and Starfish, was played in its entirety on the band's 30th Anniversary "Future, Past, Perfect" tour. In his 2014 autobiography, Something Quite Peculiar, Kilbey calls it their "undisputed masterpiece". The original 1992 Australian release was bundled with the 1991 rarities album A Quick Smoke at Spot's: Archives 1986-1990. A 2-CD remastered edition was released in Australia in 2005. The second disc included the tracks "Ripple (single edit)", "Nightmare", "Fog", "Feel (extended mix)", "Drought" and "Unsubstantiated". In 2011, Second Motion Records re-released the album as part of their 30th Anniversary Remaster series, with the bonus tracks "Nightmare" and "Fog", in a cardboard sleeve with a booklet containing lyrics, photos and sleeve notes by Marty Willson-Piper.
