It reinforces the reasons for a specific method of treatment sound and simultaneously opens two new paths for the future, on the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153crest of the border\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n<p>Leandro Pisano, <em>curator<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lemuria\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is now available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cronicaelectronica.org\/?p=083\">directly from Cr\u00c3\u00b3nica<\/a> or from selected retailers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cr\u00c3\u00b3nica is very happy to present a new release from Lemures, the four-track LP \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lemuria\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, now available as a download or a 180 g vinyl.
