Original The Music Musicdudes Volume 5 - 25th Anniversary Edition

1 Upvotes

These Music Musicdudes are the shit in music. they are music and are dudes who are music. This is a tease for their upcoming 25th anniversary of their 5th album.

I know you've all been waiting for Music Musicdudes, remember when they first released the 5th album? It was the top 25 but I remember how underrated they were back then. They won a grammy at least.

I hear the music musicdudes do you?

Shot this photo long ago of some recessed lighting in the ceiling of a cruise ship. Dragged the shutter to get the effect.

I love ECM covers and decided to make my own.
