yeah, the Spoon ones are awful. I don't know how the new ones will sound, but Can would have a lot more fans if the Restless Retro ones had stayed in print for the last decade.

sorry, I actually meant the third sentence, I don't consider myself a "record company" (I think only John Tilbury does):
"This isn't exactly music which screams for hi-fi treatment."
it's very well-recorded music, not that you'd know it by the Mute/Spoon discs. I'd see and grant your point if it was Throbbing Gristle, but there's a huge difference. this isn't your standard bunch of punks we're talking about here, according to the new Wire, here's the background of the group:
Liebezeit-Manfred Schoof's free jazz ensembles
Czukay-Stockhausen's studio
Schmidt-the Berlin Opera
Karoli-jazz guitar school
Suzuki-street busking
it's funny that Chris brought up The Modern Dance, that and Tago Mago might be my two favorite records ever under the "rock" umbrella.
