Another repeat on my list is Aorlhac coming at us here with Pierres
Brûlées (which every time I see the name I cannot stop thinking of

things interesting with solid blast beats and fills. The one complaint
one can have here is that there really isn’t a ton of variation here,
the songs while each individually great do sound quite similar.
However as I often say this is a fairly small quibble, especially if

play again.
