  Live '89 was the reunion effort. Not too great.  A limited
discography:

Together -  kinda bluesy, not as Floydian.  The only one with a decent
            singer.

Fire Water Earth & Air

Jane III - Their most common, fairly easy to find on Canadian label

Live at Home - My fave, much sloppy guitar noodling, horrific vox.

Lady

Age of Madness - fairly weak attempt at prog, heavier on the keys than
                 the others
Live '89

  I don't know why but I've always had a soft spot for these guys.
Maybe it's because the Krautrock Purists seem to disregard them
utterly.
