Familia Souldiez Vol. 13 - Sentimental Journey


- No Password Needed -

Life can be a pain sometimes. Our poor brother Chi Town has been in real pain and has had to sit this one out. He's on the mend, thankfully - get well soon, Bro ! My own pain is a bit lesser. We're spreading the work around the family to make meeting this monthly deadline a bit easier. So I'm the producer for this month. Maybe it's just because it's Number 13, but this computer work is like having teeth pulled for me. Still I made it to this point with a little help from my buddies. The G MAN really came through once again - a cracking cover and also three top-notch rarities from him this time round (he must have a treasure trove hidden specially). And the rest of the familia rallied round with some nice tunes for your listening pleasure. I hope this baby is well up to the high standards we have set ourselves. Let us know !
