New :visited: “Amazing Reality (1996)”
Hmmmmm, without consulting Wikipedia, let me try to remember what happened in 1996.

I don’t know what it is about the back half of 2018 that is conjuring up serious electronic nostalgia for me personally, but I’m here for it. Ventla returned, and Metome captured ennui for a time gone by perfectly. And now, Taquwami returns via Secret Songs. The producer hasn’t been gone that long, all things…
