The album is much more minimalistic than Summen’s
two albums. It’s more in the vein of Monopot and Rally.

We have also downgraded the website.
The “listen first” pages is now only in QuickTime.
We used Flash player links from SoundCloud before, but for

We’re back after a long winter.
Nothing much has happened here this year,
something came up...
What we have done, is learned a little bit about CDR’s.
We now know that there are good and bad quality CDR’s,
especially when it comes to longevity.
We are now using TAIYO YUDEN printable CDR’s
which is supposed to be among the best you can get.
We have sent replacement CD’s to all
who bought the old ones.
