Please note that much as I would have liked to, no clearance or permissions have been sought for samples used on this CD. At present 'Cacti and Succulents' is a private pressing for promotion purposes only. All I am doing here is holding my hands up and giving full credit and greatest respect to the original artists and source material, and better still, pointing you in their direction for further investigation and hopefully eventual purchase. As these tracks move towards commercial release, all of the proper dues and payments will be made!
