Loudness Wars!

Oops - we're probably not winning too many points from the likes of the Pleasurize Music Foundation here, but trust us, Alexander needs this level of intenseness.... it's all the range these days, dahhring.

Seriously though: Pleasurize Music, the Turn Me Up! organisation, these people stand for great things, and we, amongst others are proud to support them. Despite the, erm, evidence above.

Mastering City of Glass is happening, finally, whut. Going well, it is, it is. Done soon. Hooray etc.
