Now not only have I listened to and bought their entire back catalogue (most on both CD\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0vinyl), I&#8217;m also a member of their &#8216;Collective Unconcious&#8217; fan club and impatiently awaiting the release of their (now well overdue) 5th studio album. And having discovered them via their most recent album &#8216;10,000 days&#8217;, I thought I had blown it.
