‘Bram Cools – I am the Belgian Christian lo-fi scene’ is a new best-of compilation giving you an overview of the music he has been making though the years. It is a very varied CD with strange instrumentals, lo-fi protest songs, post-industrial hymns sung in Latin, Flemish folk and fine noise-orchestrated indie. Sound quality may differ from song to song, as some of the older ones were originally recorded on cassette tape:

You can listen to it @ last.fm, and even download the songs there for free if you like it... If you want a physical copy of this album (home-made CD-R) you can always contact me through one of the sites above. There is no set price, so it is given free donation (+ shipping). CD swap is also fine to me.
