I think I do, although I've only listened to a few songs once. APTBS is nu-80s industrial music, in a way that isn't being done by the screamo-bands that dominate rock radio now. And by "industrial music," I mean metal plus synthesizers plus goth-ish elements, if that makes any sense (the definitions I've seen of industrial music are all over the place). Anyway, this genre wasn't my cup of tea in the 80s. But a few of the songs on APTBS' disc -- or, I should say, some elements from a few of the songs on APTBS' disc -- were surprisingly nostalgic for me. “I don’t quite get [A Place to Bury Strangers].”

I'm pretty sure that album is just repackaging stuff we already have. It would be a pretty huge deal if any new Robert Johnson recordings had been unearthed.
