Glad to see that this is finally being released! I've had a CDR promo of
this release for several months now and it's pretty damn good. The
description regarding the combination of modern and 80s sounds is quite
accurate - one track in particular has this really cool early Depeche Mode
groove. Hopefully, some copies of this will make it over to the usual North
American outlets.
