I have heard this name being bandied around on these forums, so I decided to give them a go. I got hold of HYPE CITY-but was this a good place to start? There are a couple of really good tracks on there and some not so good, but I would definitely like to hear some more.

No, thats a really really really bad place to start. Get In the Aeroplane Over the Sea and if you can't find that get On Avery Island.

The only bad thing about NMH is 'invent yourself a shortcake'.

They are awesome, I just don't like how everyone worships them when they essentially only put out one great album.

I think On Avery Island was just as good as In the Aeroplane Over the Sea its just harder to get into.

I only have a few NMH songs such as Holland 1945 and Oh Comely. I'm a fan of folk music and I like what I've heard. What would you guys recommend.
