See Tortoise live at all costs. Checked it out in Ottawa a few weeks ago
and was absolutly floored. Way better than any of their recorded material
(although that's all excellent as well). What do they sound like, the best
I can offer is King Crimson meets Sly and Robbie with a touch of German
Psych. Essential stuff here kids.
