Yep, definitely a good album. I actually took a stab at writing a review of it earlier in the year:

Oh fuck yeah. I'm going to spin that shit right away.
ReplyDeleteI love this blog so much.
Hey, were you on SOT2?
Nice review Tedo. I'd agree except that my favorite tracks are in the second half of the album (Sevengil and Blue Linckia).
ReplyDeleteyeah Robert I was on SOT2. It was once a great community. I'm pretty sure I was super_nintendo_chalmers but I didn't post that much.
Cheers guys!
It's now getting pressed on vinyl this fall by Vega Vinyl!
