[QUOTE=richmon]Anekdoten ‘gravity’(thanks for clueing me in DPM),

You're welcome, richmon. I think it's the best thing they've done so far. Your next Anekdoten purchase should be From Within.

The general vibe I'm getting about this year's Nearfest is that it was just OK. Still, I wish I could have attended. Oh well, at least I made the last three. Nearfest 2001 is my favorite so far. Many of the bands--Porcupine Tree, White Willow, Deus Ex Machina, Banco--blew me away. I also think that the sound was better there than in Trenton. Then again, I had balcony seats at all three festivals. Obviously, your mileage varied.
