Great session, as ever! :) I think you missed out Metric from the track notes, though...

Thanks Catherine - fixed.

The mp3 link in the blockquote is for session 32.

Thanks James - sorry about that. Serves me right for hastily writing up the show notes while on vacation.

Great to see another session out Steven - I always look forward to them. And even though I haven't listened yet, it's even better to see you finish with 'Miasmal Smoke...', definitely one of my favourite album closers in a long, long time.
Incidentally, I think you missed a word off the end of your opening sentence.

Another great AoVR session, which is all I expect from you, kind sir. You even got me to start my own similarly-themed podcast.

Listening again tonight - Metric rocks. Checked out acoustic version on youtube. Found they'll be hear soon.
Can't wait for next AOV session.
