They were great (well, not in the end maybe, but still... 'I=
 Staggered Mentally' was awesome), and definitely ahead of their=
 time. Skinny 
Puppy, Front 242 etc. are all heavily indebted to PC. Sadly,=
 still nothing on CD except for one so-so compilation a couple of=
 years back 
(but which is probably out of print now). If there's any interest=
 in a full discography, let me know, and I'll post one.

 Skidoo, David Harrow (well, perhaps not him).

Some of 400 Blows' early tracks were great... 'Return of the=
 dog', 'Declaration of intent'... Skidoo were great on Fetish,=
 never really 
followed their later stuff. Did I miss anything??
