Um... I guess I was expecting a little more than that, like whether
they were worth driving 2+ hours each way to go and see.  But, in the
end, I found out for myself that... they are.  I just got back from
seeing them at Winston-Salem, NC.  Despite some technical
difficulties, it was a great show.  I'd never heard any of their stuff
at all before, so I didn't know what to expect.  But what I heard I
really liked.  It is haunting, engrossing music; full of dynamics and
changing moods...

Go see 'em whilst you can (because I reckon they're all going to die
of lung cancer before long...;)

Cheers,

Paul.
