yeah, it's good. alastair does his hippy routine pretty naturally. peter jefferies starts quoting daniel johnston when he's drunk. good performances, but alastair's shyness sometimes impedes the translation to video.

There is still so much stuff by this guy that I have not heard, like the Cry CD mentioned upthread. Also several singles that are hard to track down... dude needs a box set.
the new LP on Siltbreeze, Mass, is just glorious. A perfect mix of styles.
I also haven't heard the more recent Orb or the Time-Lag LP with Youngs * Neilson. I bet Orb is great too.

This guy can craft a beautiful song! Has anyone heard Co-Ordinated Universal Time / Dream For Fire Organ And Voices?

I would spend quite a bit of money on a deluxe vinyl box set of complete albums with a rarities and singles, compilation tracks. VOD, somebody....
