Good, but I don't like the long passages where they just wank around. They could shave 10 minutes or more from each album and be amazing.

Just threw on Televators.  Love the first two albums to death.  Yea, they really could shave off a lot of the lengthy ambient/wanky bits.  Frances The Mute with about 10-15 mins cut out (most of it from Cassandra Gemini) would be a Top 10 album for me.  The highs are SOOOOO amazing (No there's no light, in the darkest of your furthest reaches, no there's no light.... WOW) but sitting through the dissonant dreck is a chore sometimes.

Though... I really need to be high and listen before I pass ultimate judgment.

De-Loused in the Comatorium has become one of my favorite albums. I'm a huge fan of TMV, and even though it's sad that they broke up, their new acts like Bosnian Rainbows are still good.

Basically this, though I agree with Spiral that De-Loused is a great album.

I've only owned De-Loused. I always enjoyed the energetic spastic fast paced stuff more than the "wanky" bits although they've grown on me. Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt is one of my all time favourite songs.

Great musicians, but not my cup of tea.
