Yes! Not many people seem to be aware of them, but their music really touches me. I feel that "Before You Were Born" could've been written for me, and it often moves me to tears.

Yet, I bet nine of ten people have heard and can recognize "Fall Down." It's just one of those things.

The Sprocket is a staple on my mp3 player, however.
