Biography
Reptile71 is a solo-project of Paul Tetteroo (born December 6, 1971). He is a Dutch artist who has recorded a number of songs in previous years. These songs (in their original form) could already be found all over the internet but a few months ago Paul made the decision to put together a compilation album consisting of 11 songs recorded between 2000-2003. This meant reviewing some of the songs, mastering all the songs and sometimes adding or removing instruments, voices and sounds, which resulted in the collaboration with Feeding Fingers frontman Justin Curfman on the song "Always a Way". This album has been officially released on January 1, 2009.
The album is called: “In Dust: 2000-2003”

This release would not have been able hadn’t it been for the Dutch database/discussionsite "Musicmeter" (http://www.musicmeter.nl). Because of a pre-sale action organised by Paul the dreamed of release could be made reality. And now, with his release of “In Dust: 2000-2003” "Musicmeter" again proved a valuable site.
