Hello Sean,

Listening to Formations now. Do you also happen to have better quality
audio files, Youtube really messed them up. And so far I don't quite dig
the lead vocals (as opposed to the backing vocals, those are nicely
done), too mumbling and nasal for me, especially the couplets. The
melody is in my opinion a bit weak too. But that's all a matter of taste
and the music and composition itself are impressing, so is the quality
of the recording/mixing/mastering. Great stuff! My kind of genre too.
And the guys know how to use their instruments.
All in all, this is some of the best stuff I've heard so far completely
done with Linux, hats off!

Best,

Jeremy
