IDF's LP *is* good...too bad I don't have any time to listen to it.  But
I think it serves as more than a Swans substitute--include Sonic Youth,
Live Skull, and some industrial influences.  (Swans implies slow, which this
isn't.)

`Home' is supposed to be pretty lame, but `Fill the Sky' is *vital*.
Influences include Savage Republic, Joy Division (vocals), and some
industrial stuff.  A killer album.
