Agreed (and didn't I mention that?) that Hood and Notwist are apples and
oranges, but I still find The Notwist something I go back to more than Hood
- as with Lali Puna (didn't I mention that as well?).
Neon Golden (The Notwist) is also excellent...but I like everything I've
heard by them (which is almost all of it, although I am still awaiting on a
few associated projects to arrive via the mails).
