<br />
First of all... welcome! The Expensive Sound Website is here to stay. Spread the word.<br />
On the top of the main page you can find the various <u>sections</u>.<br />
<br />
<strong>THE BAND</strong>, a brief introduction to Empire as well as the line-ups and who recorded what.<br />
<strong>TIMELINE</strong>, the Empire history year by year, month by month. A careful work.<br />
<strong>RELEASES</strong>, the Empire CDs produced by Poorly Packaged Products.<br />
<strong>Miles Over Matter</strong>, Babel Wallace's pre-Empire band.<br />
<br />
More to come, so expect the list to grow in some capacity and... wait for some <em>exciting</em> audio stuff to pop up on the site. Cannot reveal more.<br />
<br />
