hey weasel, i just got that email about the july releases.... pumped to hear them! i'm just settling in toronto, so my order will most likely be in july sometime.
we seriously need to get you in toronto soon... i'll try to figure some shit out.
Greetings, and thank you for the add & music. It seems that we have quite similiar themes: we just made a trilogy called "Crashes". Well, crashes are nice.. when played, not experienced by anyone.
