I agree floop, "Len Parrot" is a great album. It's almost hypnotic. All the songs sounded more or less the same on the first couple listens, but I liked it. I probably only stuck with it because I believe Baxter's father (RIP Ian) was a complete genius. The album grew on me like a fungus (fungus hedge, that is).

I read somewhere that the album came out around the time of his first public performance and that he was completely uncomfortable in the live setting. Kudos to the guy for sticking with it. His music sounds pretty damned unique to me.

PS-Rough Trade has some info...
