Here's my take: buy Strange Cargo III, and then stop right there. He's
really talented, but he's also the world's greatest recycler. For example,
the melody used in "Water From A Vine Leaf" appears on every single one of
his albums, in one form or another, including on Hinterland. SCIII is where
he more or less got it right, and everything else he's put out sounds like
outtakes from that album.
