Mike - Thanks for the info. Their first CD was produced in the UK and sounds great. They did the 2nd CD in Germany, for reasons unknown (cost)? In any event, I've emailed the band management, asking if that sound was on purpose or by accident. I don't expect a response, but at least I got it off my chest. :) - Mark

> Hi - I just received copies of the 2 albums by the Eight Legs. The first CD is great. Their latest one is not quite as good. One aspect of it that I especially don't like, is that some of the songs have a very tinny snare drum sound (I'm assuming that's what it is). Take a listen to a sample, and let me know if that's what I'm hearing:
