Sounds of the Vanishing World
by Kroke
This may sound like a manifesto aimed at saving things of value, because yes, in a world of unlimited communication hysteria, Kroke want us to think about things that are really important in life: "Earth", "Water", "Fire" or "Love", for example, to mention titles on this recording. more >>
