Remcodekrusel The singing is fantastic! The music is great and doesn't sound like anything else. Every time I listen to these songs, they sound different and they keep surprising me! Favorite track: Magellan and the Sea.

World History Seattle, Washington

Neil Campau began World History in the winter of 2006, writing and collaborating aboard several boats in Seattle.
