Shrimp Boat 4-CD Box Set!!!

vibing on them right now. not sure if i want to delve into the 4cd box set quite yet, but maybe someone can convince me. anyone wanna talk shrimp boat?

or you could tell me about any bands doing similar things in the 80s and early 90s? maybe there is a connection between my shrimp boat appreciation and my the scene is now love?

I assume this is the same Ian Schneller?

just finally finished up this thing. I dunno how essential it is, this is exactly the kind of band that sounds excellent for two or three albums (in their case Duende and Cavale are both great) but their sound doesn't expand much past that. Still the sheer length of the thing for a band that was only around a few years is astounding.
