This time we did not use any additional musicians. 13 songs all together, recorded by Davide Floreno (and Kimmo Antikainen who helped us for two days). The variety of music styles is huge, but hey...that's us. The mixing process will begin in August. Let's have some more summer vacation!

August 25th: The mixing is almost done. Just a few adjustments and we have ourselves a master.
