There was plenty I have yet to hear, but whatever.

2. 2562 - Aerial
3. Riko - The Truth Vol. 1
4. The Bug - London Zoo
5. V/A - Subtle Audio Vol. 1 CD and EP
1. If this record were a GCSE I'd give it an 'A' or whatever the top score is. Studious.
2. Did this suffer a downturn of enthusiasm or what! It floated like a jellyfish above the wobbler clone army.
3. Soundbwoy 2xCD spectacular
4. Soundbwoy post-nuclear funhouse
5. Well-curated post-2000 artcore
1 artist: Martsman
