I am very happy to post this record as I know there are a few of you that has waited for it to arrive here. Well the wait is over and both the music and the documentation is great. I hope you will enjoy it!
Now shall we move on to Sudan maybe? There are still many yet to be posted from this series! I am happy that finally all the editing comes to fruition. The Bärenreiters and the Ocoras are my biggest undertaking yet it seems, and soon enough I will also start posting more also from the first series of the Bärenreiters. I have been walking around the Tibet, India and Japan series like a cat around hot porridge. But do not despair! Soon it seems the temperature shall be right! Those of you that have patiently waited especially for the India LPs. Well, I assure you, they will come! Both the grey ones and the green ones. They are ripped and ready but still needs a little cosmetic editing!
