Alim and Kronos - it is almost too miraculous to be true. Maybe even too good to combine, ha!

[hilmipir]

It's really astounding to witness such a collaboration from where I stand for. I want to thank especially Kronos guys for making it possible for us to hear Qasimov's sheer spirit. 'Getme, Getme' is a superb work. I feel contended that Kronos grasped at what they intuitively aimed. This is absorptive.
