        As far as I can tell, that's pretty much down to the stupid label
it's on, SFR - maybe some day they'll realise what they're sitting on...
Of course, it's obviously going to appeal more to the HW side of the list
than the BOC one, though.
        Whenever someone poses a question like this I'm reminded that I've
only been collecting obscure music for a few years - almost anything I
mention is liable to get six people posting back with "Oh, yeah, I got my
ORIGINAL VINYL SIGNED BY THE LEAD GUITARIST when I went to see his
undeservedly underrated solo project. But, for what it's worth, a band
I've never seen mentioned on BOC-L that I think most people here would get
into pretty fast is Brainticket, Italian 70s psychedelia that later went
electronic and uninspired. 'Cottonwood Hill' and 'Psychonaut' are both
instant buys should you ever see them, and you can quote me on that;
lovely stuff. Yours,
                     Jon
