I just wanted to let you know we are very happy with the work you've done on our new album. Thanks! VOSEugen Nutescu/KUMM _________________________ When we made our first record ten years ago, only a few insiders had even heard of “mastering” in East Europe. We worked with Cristian Varga/Mastervargas from the very beginning …now, more and more people and bands, after listening to our two latest albums, ask us– “Who did the mastering”? How can we get in touch with this guy?
