2006 - MONTHLY PLAY LISTS – A.A.P.A.

Each month we will recommend a new album release and we will put together a cool sounding compilation of 20 songs (which for the most part have been released as EP or album track within the past year) that we at A.A.P.A. believe are worth checking out…

ALBUM OF THE YEAR - 2006
