    Does anyone have a blogspot/mediafire link for these guys' discography? All I can find is their split with Indian Summer ( http://www.mediafire.com/?cfnwugyx9fm ).

    getting back to gregor, can anyone write the track listing from their 7"? I have a release named 'Demo '95' with 4 tracks on it, anyone knows if it's the same record just named incorrectly?
