    Почему водки? Водка слишком пролетарский напиток, совсем не ассоциируется с их звучанием :D

    Everyone goes on about Psyence Fiction, but imho their other albums are better (especially Where Did the Night Fall: Another Night Out) [2]

    I suggest last.fm made a 'platinum listeners' section or something like that. I mean, with those 11k scrobbles over past 6 years I feel kind of underrated.

    I love UNKLE. Until recently, I had actually only heard Psyence Fiction, but the rest of their stuff seems quite interesting too. I think it's time to check it all out on Spotify.

    Love UNKLE, but my only problem is all the (feat. <name> <name>) stuff in the tags... there's no consistency, so the scrobbles are all over the place. I guess it's best to forget about it and just listen :)
