Completed Albums
Family and Friends(2007)
some poptunes, instrumentals and mucking about with sounds from an apartement in Amsterdam
Underachievers Anonymous(2008)
A conceptalbum about collar parakeets, Gucci flipflops and procrastination
Other People(2009)
The third and probably last Monopoli RPM-record; some good stuff, some unfinished stuff, less embarrasing bits than previous years...I see it as the end of a trilogy of some sorts; 3 albums filled with snapshots
Sex and Violence (Now with extra cheese!)(2010)
An album full of thrills and shocking sounds with lots of creamy cheese on top
qian2 tu2(2011)
My fifth RPM-record (and possible the best, most consistent one) about futuredreams, communication errors and cycling in the sky.
