As I look back at my prior mournfully poor ramblings on this fine site that you are reading, I noticed that it is now at least a decade, yes a DECADE, since I started mentioning the beginnings a “Retro Rock… Continue Reading →
I’ve been listening to a good lot of dungeon synth music recently, so as synchronicity is high on my life path at the moment (ludicrously so) it wasn’t much of a surprise when this dropped into the review lists. So,… Continue Reading →
