has anyone got a torrent or fileshare for this group so I can try before I invest in them? I've heard some good things about them but I've not heard anything by them and I don't wish to spend blindly.

i always liked them for being diverse and inventive, and with the right amount of humor, balanced with just the right amount of dreaminess.. and lots of talent in the mix :) and i also started listening to them from the hit in the dutch mountains - in truth, it's not like most of their songs.. reminds me of waterboys.. but it's more accessible and conventional then most other songs..
