The Weather Prophets: Diesel River

I'M TOLD Diesel River is designed specifically for our teutonic friends. But considering that many of our "biggest record stores in the world" are hotching with copies of this reasonably-priced mini-LP, a cynic might suggest it's a bit of a filler; perhaps a story-so-far compilation to weather the winter while Astor and co. bumble towards that awaited debut long player.
