Artem's World Music Show 6 & Wizard's MW Review


I just finished listening to Artem's World Music Show 6.  It has been a while since his last show, but it was well worth the wait.  Another excellent job.

This show features music from his last two vacation destinations ... Mauritius and China.  Personally, I loved the  music from Mauritius, but there was a couple interesting selections from China as well.

The show can be downloaded at: http://www.sendspace.com/file/peslb


This may old news to many of you, but Wizard's latest review of mw pirates is available at:  http://www.mediafire.com/?r8u1wauubhf7xz2.  This is an excellent show that focuses primarily on the Dutch mw scene.  More details can be found at http://www.am-forum.nl/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=18345

(Thanks to Wizard for using on of my audio files in his show!)

Both shows are available for personal enjoyment, or can be rebroadcasted.

Cheers, Terry
