I only heard a couple of tracks but quite like them... by all accounts dirge-y even by their standards but I like sparse music and I don't listen to lyrics.

Sadly he's definitely right about the HSBC staff party.

Oh for the heady early 2000s when I was on the events team at Reuters and blowing 20k on a Xmas party for 400 in Devon, fond memories, not that I could remember much in detail though..
