I'm going to go on hiatus. It will probably be two or three weeks before I return. There are matters that need to be taken care of in the real world and I also would like to recover from the task of setting up the new version of this blog. Meanwhile, here's something to enjoy. Best wishes.

  6. I have this album and it's really good though it's been awhile since I've heard it.

    The warning on the cover says "see back cover".

    On the back cover, the warning says:"WARNING! This record, contrary to all established principles, has been recorded and reproduced with all the enormous original dynamics. In order to enjoy the results and do the music justice, you must own a first class reproduction equipment, but if you do own such an equipment, you are about to have the musical and sound experience of a lifetime. Please observe that the first piece is the softest and each piece after that will be louder, until the very end.

  7. A note: Kroumata is fighting for its life just now; the Swedish Government wants to pull the plug on their funding. You can read more, and sign a petition of support, here:

  13. Anyone else having trouble downloading this, gc? Probably not, since I see no complaints, but
    I get a "public file busy" because of "high demand" message if I go directly to adrive, and
    Jdownloader won't even load this link in its queue.
    It looks like it'll be a good record.

    1. It looks like there's something wrong with one of ADrive's servers. The same "public file busy" message shows up on another record too. I may wait a couple of more days to see if the particular server is repaired. If this same message still appears, I'll reupload it again along with the other record. ADrive had a few issues with their servers before and it seemed to quickly repair their servers.

    2. OK thanks! It's still unavailable as of this moment.

    3. I found out something is wrong with all of ADrive. None of my files can't be accessed. They all have that "public file busy" message which I think is really BS.
      I reuploaded Kroumata Percussion Ensemble to Zippyshare. I tested the link and it is available.

  14. Got it now.
    Looking forward to a good listen, Thanks!
