Reviews

Portis Feb 17, 2019
Phil mixing it up here, with some fine results. Some tracks have some guitar and drums, used to great effect. They are usually mixed with a little reverb. Complimentary vocals are found in some tracks as well. Throw is a stomping techno Kent The Fly and the journey beatyful Full Moon to complete this sweeping trophy.
AlexisNembrode Apr 30, 2018
The track Full Moon here, although written with Phil's Off and Gone partner Dan Handrabur, is not the same on the Endzeit Records compilation (which was under the name Off and Gone).
citizengreen Dec 30, 2017
"Mourning" is nearly identical to platEAU's "Purple Passion" from the 'Music for Grassbars' album.
