The first answer is reallly short: All I know about the Hattifatteners is
what I read in ICE magazine, which says only what I said.
Tortoise and the Ex: now this is an extremely cool record! This Dutch
outfit called Koncurrent makes these records when bands are passing through.
They put Tortoise and the Ex in a studio to improvise for two days and these
are the songs they came up with. I like them better together than I like the
Ex alone for listenability, and the Ex just sparks the hell out of Tortoise.
It's fascinating. Music food for the brain as well as the spirit. It's
being distributed here by Touch and Go I;m pretty sure. I feel really lucky
it came on a day I wasn't just piling things up to listen to "sometime."

I thought the Hattifatteners were a God Is My Co-Pilot sideproject?
