I've got "Daredevil" (I think I've said this before) and after listening to
"In Search of" I must say that "Daredevil" is much better. More groovy. But
I think Fu Manchu has a big problem... all their songs sounds identically
[spelling?].
But I will go and see them in Sweden this fall anyway :-)

I've got the promoversion of their first CD (oh no DF, I hope you're not
getting mad at me now!) and it's very much like MonsterMagnet/Fu
Manchu/Kyuss/Cathedral but not as good... and not as innovative [again,
spelling?] ... maybe too much dope?... they uses Orange amplifiers though :-)
... I can tape it for you if you want to.
