"'Drogas Wave' will be a tough benchmark to beat in 2k18"
Fri Sep-21-18 12:42 AM by IslaSoul

  

          

True successor to Tetsuo & Youth (& apparently 'The Cool' also)
As per usual very dense, lots to digest.
24 tracks, 98 minutes
and even though it might be too early, probably his most cohesive work to date.
