	Well if Swedish stoner is where your head is, as they say, at, 
may I recommend the efforts of a three-piece called Satellite Circle, 
who are or were the genuine goods. I agree though that that scene has 
had most of its day, though Electric Wizard appear to be set for a few 
more years yet and Nebula are currently touring as if they'd never 
stopped. Dozer were pretty good live. Yours,

recommendations)
