And as for what mood I'd have to be in to listen to Tortoise, I don't know. I have Millions Now Living Will Never Die, and it was painfully slow and boring. I mean, instrumentals are good but you have to have some pretty interesting music to compensate for the lack of vocals, like Don Caballero (Damon Che is REALLY GREAT DRUMMER!) but Tortoise is as sedate as its name. I need an explanation.
