It has been a frustrating year to buy music... so many releases getting delayed and pushed back, and then waiting patiently for the postal service to keep working. At one point I had 5 separate parcels in transit around Europe... they all made it in the end though. Eventually.
A nice varied selection you have there, the standout for me is the Mgla tape. I have the CD version and its flippin' fantastic (almost as good as Exercises in Futility)
Yes the delays make sense it's true and it's also understandable, the postal services are doing the best they can. Not to mention the courier services working multiple times as hard now that people are ordering online. I'm not complaining or anything, just have to comment about it. 👍
The Mgła album is pretty good, close to Exercises you're right. However the sound on the tape sounds to me a bit mediocre, one can argue that it's a tape, but it could be better I think, still good though.
