I never got into the Dead scene, too, so I can't relate to what I'm
saying, either. :-)  (It was just the closest analogy I could come up
with to what people were complaining about re: Space Ritual.)

If I had any idea what Brock Ltd. sounded like these days, I might agree
with you.  (Stupid trading policy eliminates any chance of that,
though.)  Sure, there have been some glowing reviews lately, but I've
learnt over the years that a lot of hyperbole passes across this list[*]
regarding gigs, so it's best to take things with a handful of salt
before slapping down the $1000... :-)

Cheers,

Paul.

[*] Though I have found the esteemed Mr. Jarrett to be brutally reliable
a lot of the time.
