I think they are an Arena spin off band involving Clive Nolan aren't they? I believe the Verglas website (Arena's own label) have at least some of SOAT's stuff available.

I think because of your excursions into jazz rock, you'll enjoy Spaced Out - Antoine Fafard is one of the best new bass players I've heard (but I'm biassed because he graced my radio show with a great live set with Steve Lawson - might be able to find tape somewhere of it - or is it on Fafard website?), and Antoine drives that band along - start with Eponymous 2

Now to find it.... Thanks Dick, you da man.

I would say: Start with the first one: Eponymous
Eponymous sounds more like UZEB (fusion), with Allan Holdsworth-like guitar solos, while Eponymous 2 is more bizarre, dark , disonant, more prog than jazz: it has similitudes with Jannick Top (Zeuhl) and King Crimson.

I'm not going to argue the toss, too good a band- Eponymous 2 was the first one I heard - and I can get more attached to the first album I hear by a band, than those that come later. And yes, there is a touch of Krimson about arrnagements and playing.

I've voted on Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, from which I've heard only one song. I wish I had any of their CDs (2, I think). I wish I knew Djam Karet, too.

Regarding Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, I find it so awful that VDGG is good compared to this band: disgraceful, dissonant, the tracks seem to go absolutely nowhere. I do not have good words for them! Among the worst prog band ever!

For me, the band would be Cast. I bought 1 album :Legacy .I think its great !
and i can't wait to discover other albums which I heard are even better.
I have a feeling this band is very underated.

Sort of Bungle ish but heavier and not so good (although having said that I've heard no one do what Bungle do better than Bungle do it)

I'm intrigued by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum...
I certainly love the name. Who are they?

I would have said Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, but I listened to them just a few weeks ago. And quite liked them, apart from the noisy live stuff

No, even better:
Band you've never listened, but can't wait anymore!
