I've heard the new album through a few times and like it quite a bit.
_Blue Sky Mining_ is, overall, fairly mellow.  I borrowed it from a friend
from Sydney who says it is _not_ typical Oils...  He complains that
Garrett is trying to sing and shouldn't, and that the album is too mellow...
which isn't to say he doesn't like it a lot.

Anyway, just wanted to clear things up at least a littlefor people thinking
about getting it but worried that it's too typical....
