Long time member, second time responding. Mike here has it spot on. I first heard/saw MO on MTV (back when they played music) and it was Beds Are Burning. I was completely blown away. I never had heard anything like them. I went out and got the CD (tape acually, but u know what i mean) and spent the time since gathering every MO CD or video i can find. I went to Australia this past April (all of april) and i went because of MO. As an aside, Australia is one of my most favorite places on this planet. It is the second most beautiful place i have been to (Sydney 2 weeks and Brisbane 2 weeks for those keeping track) just behind Wales.

Like many (most?) North American fans, I discovered the Oils via Beds Are Burning, specifically by seeing the video on Much Music and being blown away.  Diesel and Dust as an album more than lived up to the promise of Beds, and I've been a huge fan ever since.
