I've been loving the album — it's called "Karma & Desire," according to the PDF. It's funny that the file is in mono — as I recall a few of the tracks on Ghettoville were in mono as well. The mono mixing seems to fit with the almost claustrophobic feel of some of the tunes, at least when I'm listening on headphones. Are you into Terrence Dixon at all? Actress seems to have taken Dixon's hazy style of techno and put his own spin on it. On Mon, Jul 20, 2020 at 8:53 AM kent williams <chaircrusher@gmail.com> wrote:
