What came first, this or Sueno Latino? Think SL may have nicked bits of this. Great re-issue!

good question. sueno latino was deffo a rehash of Manuel Gottshieng E2E4. I actually prefer SL's. I know everything on DFC came out around 89-91 but dunno if Bager was first. Certainly there are the same influences there.

*<related> I think I may have shared this before but here is a brilliant piece journo Philip Sherburne wrote about the origins of the 'loon bird' sound, which was a feature on Pacific State and many of those epic tunes

Thanks for the memo!

That Version version was already featured in Bill's show over 2 years ago (25 July 2019).

I had it marked on Bandcamp back then but somehow I never was able to buy it. The release date has shifted a few times, but there may have also been a technical issue with the website. Even after release date you couldn't purchase it, I may have even sent them a message for that.

After more than a year I removed it from the wantlist but seems I I'll be getting it after all : )
