2009 - 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…

DECEMBER - 2009

Not many new albums get released in December as most record companies prefer to market their "Best of" or "singles" collections ... So seeing it is our last ever play list, we went for an album which will be released early next year!

FIELD MUSIC – Measure {2 CD} (Memphis Industries)





A.A.P.A. album (re-release) recommendation:

JOHN BARRY – Revisited {4 CD} (Fantastic Voyage)
