Tracks Selection
After several polls on his official Facebook page, the track list has been selected by "Captain" Robert.
"Retro-Future Vagabond" isn't a "best of", or a "greatest hits", it's more of a collection of songs I deem important enough to want etched into the only permanent medium for music left to man kind. If cared for, a record will play hundreds of years in the future. This is our legacy.
