Pointless Orchestra worked to create these tracks that are scheduled to be released on other CDs in the Midwest United States... But we have placed these tracks together into the CD Rough Mixes.
note: because these were not created in one session together, there is no available video to transmit. We have, however, included audio files of recordings.
... But we also have these material available for sale on CD! |
See this CD at Amazon.com.
