[LAU] [Music] New EP: Congroovent

[Lorenzo Sutton]

Hi Jeanette,

Very nice EP, well crafted musically and in terms of sound and mix.

My favourite song is 'Cool, blessed hand': liked its atmosphere, lovely 
synth and sample sounds, the pleasant harmonic ambiguity in some parts, 
not to mention an overall cultural/artistic 'European' style I hear in it :)

Thanks,
Lorenzo.
