Hmm, never thought of it that way, but now that you mention it I'm struck by just how right you are. Kinda gets me wondering how on earth it comes I never thought of that beforeI must dig out "Floodland" again. I always thought This Corrosion was strangely appropriate for Christmas....probably because of the choirs.
I love the SoM homepage (and their music too, of course), they write quite a lot about how they've done stuff throughout the years and they do it with a nice sarcastic attitude...
Come to think of it, it might be interesting to check out the tech section of their page in general, SoM seem to be one of those bands who've always managed to turn some kind of limitation (like using a crappy drum machine or recording through a practice amp) into a sound so if nothing the tech talk might provide some inspiration to do stuff even if your equipment isn't the best.
