I always heard a big WHITE LIGHT/WHITE HEAT influence, but otherwise, 
they were kind of a Kiwi version of the UK shoegazer bands from that 
period: very big on the reverb and drones, not so interested in 
conventional song structure.  They were never my favorites, although I 
like their album MELT all right.
