    Yes, indeed--I just recently picked up _Tumuli Shroomaroom_ and am glad
I did so.  It didn't immediately blow me away, but a few repeated
listenings and I really began to like it.  I'm going to try ordering their
first album as well.  If you ahve to pick one, get _Tumuli_ since it is
about 20 minutes longer :)

    They do revel in the "Welsh druids on acid" image, but the album is
pretty good.  It seemed to be selling well in London and Kerrang raved
about it (though that's not necessarily a good guide anymore ;)

Cheers,
Carl
