Yeah, you should, although their style varies quite a bit betweens releases.
The first two albums, "Furnace" and "Eyes of Stanley Pain" (and
accompanying EPs, "Microscopic" and "Sidewinder") are somewhat
"post-industrial" - lots of improvised weirdness and experimental bits. A
good extension of where SP might've headed if they hadn't imploded.
"III" is more on the techno side of things, with a bit of Chain Reaction
influence. Not entirely originally, but still pretty good.
And the new album, "Effector" - well, I've only had it for a few days, but
I'm pretty unimpressed. There doesn't seem to be much innovation or
originality, and there are too many jumps in style from track to track.

Well, it's not that new. Almost two years old, I think. Musically, it's OK,
although a little unfocussed (which makes sense as it's mainly a collection
of outtakes and studio farting around).
