i like their “Summer Rain”, anyway you still make a hard and proper work here because too much lost music over there, big thanks
This is a new discovery for me. I have heard of some artists on here for the first time and usually i’m loving what i hear. This is no exception either.
Keep up the good work Paul 🙂
I always go into these obscure records wondering my readers will like them. It always makes me so happy when they do 🙂
This is the biggest surprise ever! I even can’t believe what I see! My favourite band posted here on BTG! Wow Paul this is the best post for me so far! I thought this day will never come and here it is. You know that you make me so deeply happy with that.

It was my pleasure and a beautiful record to work on Daniel 🙂
Thanks Paul.
You’re welcome Omar 🙂

You’re welcome S.corpion 🙂
Oh, THAT song! I´m totally surprised that I know it. Quite nice, I must say. Very nice.
What a rare find and a treat. Thank you, Paul.
I had a feeling that you would recognize this one Song And Dance 🙂
Never heard of this but it has me intrigued! Paul, it’s so fun to check out new stuff courtesy of you. I’ve made some wonderful discoveries all because of you. I’m so looking forward to checking this one out.

Another one to add to your unknown basket, Jeff. I am hoping you’ll enjoy it 🙂
Was enraptured by this song and mix the instant it started playing. Wow Paul, thank you once again for a stupendous musical introduction. And the 12-inch is EPIC!! They just don’t make ’em like this anymore. And there’s nothing better than getting new music courtesy of you. Like Daniel says, you are a “music angel.”
Jeff
I am very excited that you liked this record, Jeff. 🙂
