Is there any thematic (or any other) relation to Moorcock's books other
than the name? Who are these people :-)

I think I've seen some guy from this band trying to sell their stuff in the
Moorcock newsgroup (or was that a band called Arioch???).

Also, anyone care to describe Tygers Of Pan Tang? Obviously metal but any
good?

obStrangeMemory: I used to have this Full Moon CD. I got it because it had
Rodney Matthews' Horsemen of the Apocalypse painting on the cover...  for
some reason I got rid of it years ago, and now for some reason wish I
hadn't! Anyone know if they still exist??? Were they religious? I vaguely
recall them as very cheezy but strangely interesting? Kinda like Hawkwind's
Elric stuff, except Full Moon were being earnest and *not* tongue-in-cheek
like HW...???
