When you will put more tracks online?

- Forgotten Melodies II will be released during this year. Again, it will include abandonded or unfinished trance/rave/freeform projects. I don't yet have enough material to mix it (45-60 minutes). If it's worth of releasing, it will be available on CD as well.

What is the best way to give feedback or contact you?
