THE REVIEW

An AM effect that emphasizes the distance from the transmission point compared to the listening point.

Guitars recorded on a worn-out BASF tape from years of repeated listens.

Ectoplasms of new wave slash post punk moving among those who are damned and those on the waiting list for redemption.

Nothing new and that's why we like to see their tufts floating, while their eyes turned downwards scan the underworld. Dancing to it is another story.

Like mine that, perhaps it was fate, took steps on my shattered image under the abrasive fuzz of these guys.

It was the mirror, they say it brings bad luck.

Without the "s" for me, please.
