Here is Volume 2: these were all originally posted on the ASPMA site before they were removed as with Volume 1 (and the further volumes to follow), although I will mention one track in particular... The Downtowners (aka Rodd Keith) "Baby I'll Give It To You" has long been a favo...

Dug this one out of the stacks not too long ago and surprised myself with how good it is. Hard to believe it dates back to 2007, but it does and the band's been working it hard in the meantime as they should. Still mathy as all get out, but hear those lovely harmonies!

I actually dig the new Trummor & Orgel disc "Thunderball sessions" quite a bit, shame that the single is the weakest moment.
