Lard Free - Unnamed

Cover art

Leo Küpper - Electro-Acoustic

Cover art You have to admit, with a title as academic sounding as this, one would not be unjustified in expecting a musical experience on the equivalent stimulation level of a botany lecture. That "new music"...  » Read more

Maelstrom - Maelstrom (AKA On the Gulf)

Mani Neumeier & Peter Hollinger - Meet the the Demons of Bali

Cover art Wooaah, wait a minute, hold the phone, and just a cottin' pickin'... Mani has really done something different here! Some may remember the Privat CD reviewed last time. There, he took on every...  » Read more

Marcœur - m,a,r, et cœur comme cœur
