Well, as most of the opinions go: Ishemic Folks is shit in comparison to
Lily of the Valley. I have not heard lily and that is why I like Ishemic
Folks. ;)
It is indeed hard to conceive but not harder than most of the music I have.
It is dull and uncomfortable (which I need sometimes from music - I'm not
supportive of the idea that every music has to be bright and make you happy,
some tracks need to make you feel sad or dull or angry...) but it strikes me
that it was an original idea to make it in such way. The sleeve tells
something about it somehow. I cannot say that it is the best stuff I have
but I certainly do not regret having it. And by the way it was the only way
to get some more Richard Devine tracks for his fan. 8)
