DANIELE BRUSASCHETTO- Ti Amo Ubriaco C90 (Aon Distribution, Bulgaria) $6 CAD / $5.40 USD

GREENMAN/ T.U.O.B.- split C60 (Doomsday Transmissions, Canada) $6 CAD / $5.40 USD

KELEKTRIK- Soundtrack 2 C60 (O.I.W., France) $6 CAD / $5.40 USD

LE.SEIGNEUR.DEABOLIQUE- Echoes C60 (Wreck Age, Canada) $6 CAD / $5.40 USD
Montreal's strangest home-taper is back, with an all-around more cosmic (or kosmische?) vibe. Slightly less chaotic and more hypnotic than previous efforts, yet still strange and interesting.
