My skepticism has been allied with Jon's here.  Much though I dig 
power-trios, I don't see Orange Goblin working that way.  I think they 
they would do well with a keys player back again, at least, to keep some 
_groove_ in the sound.  In fact, I think I'd recommend a keys player 
over re-adding a second guitarist.

(Um, presumably they have a new drummer?)

Well, if they were playing in a pub near me, any way :)  Mind you, they 
were basically in a pub the last time I saw them, but that was 1998 or 
something :)

Cheers,
Carl
