vortex and swans aren't really doing it for me trying the others still

mewithoutyou was pretty good

[black coffee]

Must admit Ten Stories hasn't really gotten my full attention but I'm all in this time.

[Velvet Tongue]

Swans is definitely a monster album, and takes time to sink in.

if you're not into glitchy stuff i can understand your ambivalence to 7Vortex.
