Some records I've heard have been a total trip for the entire duration, some just don't grab me at all. People often point a 'krautrock' finger in these band's direction but the last time I was in Germany I heard a good few positive mentions about Ganger - so they must be doing something right :) They recently got a new rhythm section (courtesy Les Tinglies) I believe and the most recent stuff I've heard (I don't know if it's out, I was lucky enough to hear it in the studio where they recorded it in Edinburgh) was definitely a step in the right direction.
