The first album isn't very good. It's basically a tossed-off novelty. The other three albums have some fantastic songs, but they are padded out with instrumental experiments and other bullshit. If you isolate all of the best songs, it fills up a CDR, and it's a CDR that will never leave your CD player.
What are their standout songs that belong on a CDR? I have S/T, but I haven't listened to it in years. I want to give them another look.

I will say, I was taken by surprise with the debut. I don't know what I imagined this group sounding like, but it wasn't this.

I disagree with quite a bit of this.
Same here. The first album has Nati Bati Yi on it, and one of my favorites, Palomar Observatory.

I love the first one. Ben fuckin Shepherd is there. Whats not to love?
I didn't say that I didn't like it. It's just...rather slight compared to the other three...which are a lot more "serious" in terms of having thought put into them. I'm also not *wild* about Ben Sheperd's voice. It reminds me a lot of Roky Erikson and thus sounds odd and out of place (and more like shrill whining a'la Kevin Coyne) in such blatantly "poppy" music.
