I love it! Sometimes it seems to me that Linux audio is a few scattered 
specialist musical ghettos. Your album is definitely not stuck in a ghetto!

Nicely done. Listening to it on stereo headphones through an external 
soundcard running into a stereo amp. Sometimes sounds a little on the 
muddy side, depending on the instrument mix.

Just my personal opinion, but I think you guys have great commercial 
potential. You're good at writing songs, playing and singing. Any videos 
of you guys performing?

Firefox 24.2 on Linux with Adobe Flash installed. Works fine after it 
took me about two years to figure out how to make Adobe Flash use my 
external soundcard instead of the sucky internal sound ... Flash sucks. 
And HTML5 video is slow and klunky unless you have a lot of CPU and 
graphics adapter hardware to throw at it.
