I don't think the guitars are bad, and they aren't
used in most of the tracks anyway. I think everything
works really well together on Landcruising. I remember
alot of people saying that it sounded too retro.

When my friend Ben was in the UK the summer that
Landcruising came out, he commented that he was
surprised to see huge posters for the album at Tower
Records in the UK. And they had tons of copies of the
CD. That's a huge contrast to the amount of attention
a US record store would give.
