actually i have to admit i have paid for very few of my sunburned releases. i have done a lot of artwork for the band and have befriended many of them in the process. so yea my thought that every release has a purpose could be seen as clouded because of our friendship; i am still a firm believer that every release has a purpose regardless of its content or whatever band. i know paul (unlurker aka guitarist for sunburned) would argue the same. but hey man the shit doesnt have to be for everyone regardless and if you don't want to own a bunch of releases its up to you. but hey for those interested i recommend the following releases...
wild animal
no magic man
complexion
feel the wind
the pedagrift
rare wood
live in shit
earth do eagles do
jaybird
head dress
two whats (great live dvd)

don't get me wrong, if you like them a lot, that's awesome; but to say that everyone of their hippie jamming rehearsals has a purpose (other than giving the band money and giving yourself indie points) is more naive than me thinking you only need one of their albums.
yeah, one is a little extreme, but i can't see why someone would like to listen to the same improvisation for more than 3 albums.
i agree in theory with sonicl that you have to experience them live as the experience of random live improvisation is better appreciated when people are moving and giving a show.
