Song Review:: ASTRO: Moon {Anniversary Tribute}

Even if that's the only piece in the bowl, it still flavors everything after it because that's what you can taste. The rest of the song is nice. I wouldn't necessarily want just the instrumentals as a solo track, but I do like them. And, enjoyably so, only one of the songs is under three minutes, and it's not  the title track. The key of this song mi...
