speaking of "madlib vs. azymuth."...: i downloaded a cd-r, which is quite good, in a yesterdays new quintet style... comes with the following info-txt:
"this is one of only 100 cd-r's in existence of madlib interpreting the works of Azymuth. Please do not share this on soulseek or other p2p platforms. There are more tracks to follow......." well, check slsk, you might find it there, though :) c. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: dave cronin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Montag, 30.
