Release notes

"Infomercials and misdirected voicemail provide the inspiration for this fancifully [...]-obsessed foray into sample-mania and groovebox bliss. From the evocative jungle romp of "Cum 2Nite" to the chill lounge of "Not Available In Stores" you will love this product! Features vocals by the Lisa Moscatiello and special guest appearance by Basehead's Mike Ivey."
