Or maybe "out" music has just taken a long time to catch up with them. But I find them a hell of a lot more listenable now. Still not something that I'd choose to listen to every day, but a lot easier to appreciate.


You need to have a Gate recording on your list, ASP. Either one of the table Of The Elements ones, or The Lavender Head.

Trapdoor is all songs, no improv like on The White House, my favourite Dead C song (Bitcher) is on The White House
