FINAL NOTE! the release was postponed a few weeks, because it wasn't finished in time for tp95. (yeah, you did your best eyekuu.. ehka ollikin ;) this was spread around at the juhla III party somewhere, sometime. cheers to all our friends n supporters through the years! we do remember. be good, be sonik.. . .
