They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5
Active compensatory factors: Slight pause on Porcupine Tree as I've just bought this one. I took a punt, based on my love of fellow Manawatu band - Daggy and the Dickheads.

Their self-styled call to arms has them 'Direct from the Manawatu mud! Stomp, jump and shout as we descend into the maelstrom of discontent'. They don't disappoint on these stripped back three-piece surfer/sludge rock epics.
Old Man Pine are a grizzled rock trio and this is their debut. The cover doesn't give much away (no band member names), except we're talking lead guitar, bass, drums and vocals.
So that focuses attention on the sound - a surf guitar style and some Creedence Clearwater Revival style swamp grooves provide the highlights - of which there are many!
Where do they all belong? Swamp Stomp is their second album and I'm keen!
