Indeed. They've got a historical timeline on their website, for pity's sake, complete with short (but not /that/ short) essays on the events behind each of the songs. That's just not normal. Whether it's a good thing is subjective, of course, but it's not normal. > But they never > quite do it for me - too one-paced, too easy to let the mind slide off > into other thoughts.

As the band that I most want the world to hear at this precise moment, I'm pleased that they've pulled somebody else into wanting to like them...even if they haven't quite made that impact on you. I do wonder where they'll be in a couple of years' time - it's perhaps not an idea that'd stand to be repeated endlessly - but I'm entirely devoted to their cause right now. I'm off to investigate Flotation Toy Warning...!

Never quite got the hang of it, whats more interesting is the stuff like this which has grown on the fringes of Dubstep. Lacrimal by Kaman Leung is pretty good, it does the job bass wise.. Planet Mu stuff is always worth a listen (you probably know this already?)
