`   ==Edit of enthusiastic praise== I've edited the following:  ``It surprises many fans that Cardiacs have not achieved wider fame, but the uncompromising complexity and intensity of much of their music puts off many listeners used to more basic fare.``  And merged it into an existing sentence to become:  ``Combining the excitement and energy of punk rock with the intricacies and technical cleverness of early British progressive rock, a combination sometimes referred to as pronk, their sound is unique, varied, complex and intense.``  Even though I'm unhappy that it turns a great compliment (with which I agree) to something sounding a bit negative.  My reasoning being:  *Fans of any music are liable to be surprised that their heroes are not more widely music, so that observation is unhelpful.  *The ``many listeners`` is a bit hazy. The truth is most people will never get to hear a Cardiacs track due to the (criminal!) lack of publicity and airplay, so the sentence comes across badly in that light.  *And saying they're used to more ``basic fare``... the broad audience are quite sophisticated - Radiohead and Muse are huge in spite of being complex.  `
