This is Aussie indie guitar stuff from Steve Kilbey of The Church and Grant McLennon of The Go-Betweens. Arty, quasi-eastern mysticism, etc. Good if that's yer bag.

This is basically older indie-dance stuff from the early '90s, if I'm correct. ie Massive Attack's "Unfinished Sympathy" mixed into Stone Roses' "Fools Gold", plus a few others from that era (Beloved, etc). Cool if you're still stuck in the Madchester scene I suppose. :-)

I've got two Divination CD's on Subharmonic without the back covers - did they all come out like this or are these cut-outs? Anyway, these also came with 'multimedia' which was just a crappy DOS fractal program that kept dying on me. Not worth seeking for the CD-rom portion alone, IMHO. Cheers, Geoff
