... God is an Astronaut, Sigur Ros)

I am really digging this one despite the ridiculous band name. The highlights here are on par with my favorite Explosions stuff.

Man, the song Get to the Chopper is all over the place. I liked what they were trying to do but I didn't really like the outcome (of that song, anyway).

Sketch, if you like this and haven't heard them already, you should check out Yndi Halda. (http://www.myspace.com/yndihalda). The first track on their myspace playlist, IMO, is awesome.

Thanks for the rec. That first track was solid.

You are correct. I thought that was what Colin was intending.

The band name in question has been transcribed correctly and is apparently the invincibility cheat from Sonic the Hedgehog on Sega Genesis.
