Chessboard - Tempus Fugit



Bantom To Behemoth - Birds And Buildings

The latter is an excellent album, certainly worthy of top 10 status in my humble opinion!

Ah, my misunderstanding.  So you have to take all three separately?  Has to get old but people do what they have to.  Cheers

Yes, it is illegal but I don't drive. My commute involves bus, train and subway (The London Underground) and takes near enough 2 hours each way, so plenty of time to rack up the albums.

Damn, you must rack up the miles (sorry kilometers).  If I have a nice 8-10 minute song que'd up after I drop the kids, that is about my commute.  Epics are usually 2-3 trips.  That's why I have owned my car for 8 years and only have 47,000 miles on it.

Isn't it illegal to wear headphones while driving?  I believe it is in the states.
