Anima has always been extremely cyberpunk to me. Might be the almost organic / live played feel of the album. Absolutely one of my favorites. I love Luomo so much that I like that Paper Tigers album lol I dug the Lusine rec. I really loved that Kayn - just had to play it at a nice low volume. I am Kayn-pilled now Ty On Tue, Apr 4, 2023 at 5:09 AM Charlie Webster <cwcharliewebster@gmail.com> wrote:
