>The singer Ka-Spel is a nut...he has a really nasally whiny voice (sim. to

>Overall, I would say that they're not an exceptionally talented group of

>popular with the goth crowd (wear black!), and they do have a similar flavor
>I guess.  Their albums and their live performances both are hit-and-miss
>affairs. But it's worth it for the thirty minutes or so at the end where
>they put on the full electronic assault.  "The Saucers are Coming" and "The
>Grain Kings."  Great stuff.  'The Maria Dimension' is the album to look for
