Completed Albums
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
Underachievers Anonymous (2008)
A conceptalbum about collar parakeets, Gucci flipflops and procrastination
Family and Friends (2007)
some poptunes, instrumentals and mucking about with sounds from an apartement in Amsterdam
