I, too, kinda backed into his worked. Picked up the first Future Clouds & Radar cd after reading some favorable press, and, enjoying it immensely, managed to track down copies of the old Cotton Mather albums as well. (I threw together my favorites from both bands onto a <A HREF="http://popkulcher.freehostia.com/mixes/details/9089.html" REL="nofollow">cdr mix</A>.) CM is more traditional power pop, which is good & bad -- a few great, solid, endlessly catchy tracks per album, but also a tendency to blend together. Future Clouds is far more experimental, kinda like Apples in Stereo with a touch of Guided by Voices, a pop genius letting loose in a tricked-out home studio (which, of course, naturally leads to some self-indulgence, and the 2-cd package can easily be culled down into 40 minutes of greatness).
