To build up the hype to the upcoming album by Lord (about time you lazy bunch... yeah I know I know, they released a lot of new stuff and re-recordings and other stuff but whatever) I did some careful listen to the earlier works of Tim and his mates. All the albums are real crackers and listen to all of them in order is a great way to improve your working day. Here it goes!

1.Dungeon - The Final Chapter

2.Lord - Digital Lies

3.Lord - Set In Stone

4.Dungeon - One Step Beyond

5.Lord - Ascendence
