Min
dmap / A.A.V.V. "Plochy remixed" is out now as a free downloadable album
Mindmap's "Plochy" has always been one of our favorite Afe albums. Originally released in March 2003, it was a sort of summa that synthesized most of the elements and atmospheres we were fond of then - and we still are. Six years later we're very glad to present to the public the remix treatment announced quite a long time ago. "Plochy Remixed" is now available as a free downloadable album which includes remixes by a034, Abuse, Eau de Toilette, Florian Filsinger, Leeza, ReturnSixteen, Skycode 11 and Riga. This release is available both as 256kbps mp3 files and as lossless flac files; here's the link to the download page.
