Recommendations
Reviews
-
Purist and minimalistic music to submerge and switch off from the world. Alternating rhythms and melodies: light and heavy at the same time. -
Very empty and single minded approach. Nearly only drumming. Boring and mindless. Soon to be forgotten... -
Edited 7 years agoFor the love of god please repress this musik... this completely outstanding, 5 stars stuff... incredible work
