Thanks, you're not the first person to have recommended that Lustmord release to me, I'll probably check both out.

On an irrelevant note, I downloaded The Work Which Transforms God yesterday (I know you rave about this) and it's one hell of an eerie album. It's unusual enough for me to struggle with judging its quality at this stage, but on first impressions it's great. At first the drum machine annoyed me (they tend to) but it isn't doing now.
