Vladimir, I'm so glad you took a moment to view it and have a listen. If you have just a moment, please donate anything you can to the project. soundcloud.com/alfonsovelez has all the mixed and mastered prereleased songs available to you. Thanks again for your support. Alfonso

Alfonso, I really like your video for "Love for LIfe". You have a great background story, and I like the other sounds I have found so far. Hoping this project can make goal! Only wish Rockethub had an easy way to modify the fueling amount. If the funding comes down to the wire, I may want to upgrade to get vinyl. :)
