I don't remember which thread discussion of this band was buried in, so here is one easy to find.
Having a bit of extra time, I rolled into an actual brick-and-mortar record store, and lo-and-behold Goat was in stock. I picked up World Music, but demurred at getting Commune at the same time.
Primary selling points: Cool band mythology (some anonymous voodoo cult from Sweden), they perform masked & costumed, and lots of psychedelic fuzz-tone guitar.

Drawbacks: I'm not getting much songcraft on World Music, which I get isn't their thing as much as creating the electronic-tribal vibe, and the vocals, at least on World Music, sounds a lot like the Go-Gos shouting at me.
I'd go to a show, definitely, if they ever get to California. But I think I'm still deciding about the music on the whole.
Opinions?
