Any UNKLE fans?

Took me a good while to get into War Stories.
Couldn't stand the vocals on any tracks aside from the ones with Josh Homme, so I picked up the double CD with the instrumentals.
Saw them last friday and was completely blown away. I've been a big James Lavelle since the early days of Mo'Wax but I never pegged him as a 'frontman' for a band. He had a commanding stage pressence and a surprisingly good singing voice.
I love the vocals now after hearing the tracks live (most with canned vocals). It would have been logistically impossible to get all those folks together for a small venue tour.
Got a free CD at the show.. a 20 minute 'megamix' of the album.
We were encouraged to rip it and share it. If anyone wants a copy of it, let me know.
