For the same reasons I have the opposite opinion - spacey programmed music
is great to listen to at home but it makes the gig pretty tedious. (I haven't
heard either Alien 4 or LIS, but I seem to be one of the few who thought
ITBOTFTBD was rather cool)

*Rush* out and buy "Welcome to Sky Valley" if you liked "Blues for the Red
Sun". Whether you get their last one depends on how rabid a kyuss fan you are,
since its a bit patchy - some good tracks though, like Phototropic,
Catermeran..

How many releases have Fu Manchu made & which is their best ? I recall folks
on the now-defunct kyuss list mentioning these guys...
