molly99 really good. reminds me of my dog and i really love my dog, her name is Yoko. Favorite track: A wild one.

Jon i love the variety of mr albertini's music- please keep writing. Favorite track: Viva! The decline (demo).

mylesmoorales This is my comfort music. Sounds like nostalgia in a bottle even though I only found Helvetia in high school. From the beautiful melodies of Totality to the relaxing vocals of So sick with it, this album is a warm glass of milk past your bedtime. Favorite track: A great division (different take).

about

This is the first tape that was made to hand out to friends in 2003. Jason made cassettes and Pete Ritchey made a cd of it and put this picture on it.
The song names have been changed to match up with already released material. We will release vinyl early next year.

Duster's 19 year hiatus didn't stop them from producing such alluring tunes. Oh to be someone like you <3 Seth-Fire

To me, this album is the auditory experience of liminal space. Nostalgic, spacey and melancholic. Stratosphere creates an atmosphere like very few albums and artists can. colek_WM
