Swoon
Here is the latest mix I have prepared: Swoon. This was a gift to my wife. A bit of what I have been hearing in the past year, a pinch of optimism and a sniff of saudade, after a year on sabbatical. A sort of soundtrack to love in the suburbs in 2010. To download the mix in high quality go to the link above (Username: Apollo, Password: feelingfree).
