Gotta check 'em out!

I do have a track from a Swedish band called Space Probe Taurus  
called "Kiss of the Zodiac" from their "Peace, Love, and Satan"  
demo.  If those names were enough on their own, listening to the  
music (or that track, at least) will confirm your suspicions that  
these guys listened to _waaay_ too much Monster Magnet. :)  On the  
other hand, since I haven't been completely blown away by most of the  
recent MM releases, SPT's faux version is actually pretty good and  
pretty welcome.  (_Someone_, I feel, oughta be doing this job if  
Wyndorf & Co. of the Moment aren't!).  That said, I've no real idea  
what the rest of their output sounds like! :}  Probably worth be  
getting back in there to investigate, if only by looking for some  
more dodgy MP3s (the chances of a local record shop carrying this  
stuff being only slightly less than a full-scale, chart-smashing BOC  
reunion album and tour .... ;)

Cheers,
Carl
