I’ve said a lot of nice things about Matthew Davidson, his music and his awesome blog over the last few months.

His latest video - the Insane Dog Of Truth Remix - just etched itself into my subconscious and will now haunt me as long as I walk [...]

Matthew Davidson (Escape Philosphy) has announced that he’s offering high-quality uncompressed versions of his two latest albums as downloads via Bandcamp for $5 a pop:
