OFF: Dark Star & High Rise

[colm mcwilliams]

where can you get any info on high-rise, Nanjo Asahito
etc. Especially if they have any stuff out on cd. If
they sound anything like spacemen 3 then i am
deffinatly interested. I think darkside are a bit over
rated, levitation the previous incarnation where a
millions times better but maybe that was because a
certain terry bickers was in that band?

cheers
