just great, where can I buy the vinyl? I mean it.
On the peril you hate it: Blown away raised the very same feelings in
me, I had when I first listened to Kyuss' Blues for the Red Sun aeons ago.
Technically speaking I see some room for improvement though. The overall
sound is just right, Drums *could* have more punch but this is a matter
of taste methinks. And the performance gets thru in a quite direct and
effective way. Much better than some sterile overpolished Stuff as known
from FooFighters and the like.

Another matter are some glitches I dare to hear, there seems to be an
unvolutary hickup in Blown Away at around 3:00. If it is intended, I
would make it more extreme. The bass at the beginning of the Real sounds
a bit well... undecided.

Still I want the vinyl, give to me it!
Any chance to see you in Germany? Berlin? Hannover? I'd be there and as
Bender would say: damn the expense!

best regards, rock it!
