I picked up doppelganger, cuckoo, and pubic fruit on CD recently, I've been having them in heavy rotation in the car. This band has some great tunes, but even more crucially they've got such great atmosphere, they're just one of the coolest sounding bands I've ever heard. Everything comes together.

And boy did that era deliver live too. Only caught 'em twice but both times they were on it.

yup, same. At the Palladium and the Palace, right?Having said that, I never really warmed that much to Cuckoo. Some great stuff here and there... but they seemed to try to go for a more organic soulful sound, whereas I wanted more of the badass iciness.

The very same!

Cuckoo is the best. Esp. the back to back punch of “Unreadable Communication” and “Turkey Crossing”.
