wow, this one came in to the station about two weeks ago, and I took one
look at it, gave it a cursory listen, and religated it to the average

Far... this definitely warrants another listen. Thanks Brian for alerting
me! BTW, russell mills/undark thumbs up, also the new einsturbende
neubautan (I know that spelling is horribly butchered).
