But two isolated vocal tracks, spotted this week by the folks at Dangerous Minds, offer some subtle insight into what set the band apart from its peers.

What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?
