This week, I’m gonna give you some new mixes of the new album. These are not the final cuts, but they are very close. Plus, I want to ask once again for you help in sponsoring the new CD. I still need a wee bit more money to press the CD and pay for t-shirts. However, it now looks Very likely that I will release the CD to sponsors in June!

If you don’t want to sponsor it now, your CDs will be officially available online in September!
