Awesome review Kamal! don't think a magazine review could have said it better. We didn't do a whole lot of promo just as we've not done in the past and we thank those for spreading the word on our chit and promoting it that way. We're all happy with the end result and Gerard thanks all for buying it and supporting the life of more of his music being released on his own VEXT imprint.
