eenh, not true. i really like total improv music, but storm & stress were
more like "hi, we're three guys with instruments. we just played a bunch
of notes for you. now, we're going to play a bunch more notes." i do enjoy
improv, just give me a little bit of structure so it makes it sound like a
band, and not three guys playing instruments.

actually, i really hate to further contradict you, but a friend of mine is
really into storm & stress, hates farmersmanual. go figure.
