Can >anyone tell about a rumored box set? I agree that "Nail" is scary. I have never seen any Foetus records at my local stores (which means I should shop elsewhere), but my local schlock-top-40 store actually had the *CD* of "Nail". I took a wild stab, and got it -- intense, scary, death-obsessed stuff that sounds *striking*. Ruin is a great producer, mixing the feel of Wagner with the "Mission Impossible" theme and many other influences to great effect. If any of you mod.music-gaffa-hounds are slumming in this group, could you fill us in on Clint Ruin/Jim Foetus and grace us with your comments on the other Foetus releases. ("Foetus On Your Breath", "Foetus Uber Alles", etc.) I bet Greg Earle or Doug Alan could fill us in a bit...
