“Five Years on Cold Asphalt†reviewed by The Sound Projector

Fourteen years after Vienna-based Mego released “The End of Vinyl” by Austrian dynamic producer Peter Votava aka Pure on 3″ cd, someone could think that its sibylline prediction could be better spot-on if it were called “the.agony.of.vinyl”, so that Cronica folks decided to fishes it out from the ocean of sonic memories by involving a …
