Kylan won 1st Place in my first contest: Cal's Colorful Contest. One of his prizes was a fanmix, he decided that he wanted one of his entry Hallcinogenic (Part 1 // Part 2). Go read it if you haven't already, it's amazing.
I have made a decision. I will no longer be offering single song downloads in my fanmixes, for two reasons, one it takes forever, and two it is a lot of work. So it will just be the zips of the sides for y'all now. The good thing is for you guys is that I will post mixes faster.
So, here it is.
Enjoy your prize, Kylan.
Ta,
Cal.

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
the shadow in the background of the morgue
