Sundeep,
Klaatu was ok... I thought they had an interesting sound. Some of the
music from their first album was compared to McCartney-Lennon. A song
called Sub Rosa Subway was thought to be similar to Red Rose Speedway.
Then there was another entry similar to McCartney's Uncle Albert. The album
cover distictively (to me at least) gave off a Mean Mr. Mustard Here
Comes the Sun odor.
Thanks for the info on Giles Weaver, et al. I took a look at Sephen's
web site and that cerainly helped. And for god's sake don't feel so
damned guilty about the FAQ's, ok?
