Stereo Stevens

Stereo MC’s Connected (1992) is a fun set of danceable, slightly trippy, vaguely hip-hop cd. Perfect early 90’s music that I still enjoy when it comes up on rotation to be played.

The creature lingers by the pond, savoring the cool breeze that preludes the sunrise, the last remains of moonlight still bathing her beautiful silhouette. Perhaps…
