Yes, if not better.

what do they sound like

You could read the reviews - they're quite detailed. In a nutshell, there's a bit of Canterbury (especially the vocals), a bit of Krautrock (Can and Faust), a bit of post LTIA King Crimson and a bit of RIO in their sound. Mostly, they sound like themselves.

where can i find mp3

Don't know of any MP3s anywhere, but there are preview clips on emusic and probably on Amazon now as well. I think somebody set up a myspace page, so you could try that if it's still there.

thanks brohams

once you are done with the mp3s its time to buy the albums, utterly essentialy listening for a really unique Brit take on Krautrock in a post-prog punked-up context...........they've got a box set out called Out of Cold Storage which has all the stuff they;ve done. Awesome!!!

Oh, yea, this is definitely a must buy for me. it seems like a very good purchase for folks like me who love the band but have no actual cd in the collection.
