This sounds interesting.  What else is on the Beggars Banquet compilation?
The rest of the Love and Rockets album is pretty good, but "Haunted - When
The Minutes Drag" is my favorite.

That's (BGTB) a fairly new song, I think it's only on an EP.

Well, they're from W. Germany and have an album.  I've only heard whatever
song it is that they play on the radio, and I like it.
