    Do I like them? I dont know....some lovely instrumental bits, rather dull singing and monotonous in places. Maybe I need to listen to a few more albums-I only know in absentia.
    Any of their work you like?

    This was in another thread somewhere, but I really like 'Stupid Dream' probably my favourite... lovely production on it and some great songs...

    a later one 'Fear of a blank planet' a fair bit heavier, but still excellent...

    If you don't really like the singing, have you tried the band 'Spock's Beard'? highly recommended, especially their first album 'The Light'

    I would say "Deadwing" was the easiest to listen to?
