Oh the joys of having to work late into the night. I'm now waiting for a new set of ftp jobs to run so you're getting a third review. Aren't I a busy thing tonight ( Read more... )

After Matter + Form I didn't think VNV could sink much lower in my expectations. I still can't work it out either.

Much thanks to lineoutrecords for suggesting this one man band :)

Go check out Obka
