These are liner notes of an album released in 2009! Sounds prophetic, ain't it? 😱

I can't say anything about this particular one as I'm yet to listen to it, but Acroplane is one of my favourite record labels of all time. I highly recommend Wahn and Red Box Recorder among other artists — you can find their albums on archive.org too, free to download!
And here’s #MorphOS running on the 800 Mhz iBook G4. Looks great at 1024x768. Sure the laptop is chunkier than a MacBook Air but on this OS it’s is pretty snappy*
