Dave,
As much as I'd love for someone to spring for the boxed set, I don't know 
that I could, in all good conscience allow you to do it without at least 
hearing these guys first. I'm biased in thinking the boxed set is truly a 
work of art, but if you haven't heard Klaatu I'd recommend either "Peaks" 
(their greatest hits) or the first album '3:47 EST" which band member John 
Woloschuk always considered their 'Citizen Kane' (a long, arduous labour of 
love that was never outclassed by any of their subsequent releases).

I believe Not Lame carries both titles....or go to www.aimmusicshop.com
