Levrikon I think this record popped up for me on last.fm something like 15 years ago. 'Heavydale' absolutely blew my mind, I had never heard anything like it before. Thrilled to find it on Bandcamp. Thanks last.fm! Favorite track: Heavydale.

Ashton Richards Love this album ever since I heard it on Rock Action decades ago. Favorite track: Untitled@33rpm.
