Easter is round the corner. We've waited very long. Is there any news at all or anything?

Let me notify again the Eclectics, they are pretty active in this period.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

News from the eclectics: you have been evaluated in last November and they voted "move" to Neo-prog. Later Neo voted "move to Psych and currently in the psych chart you have again a "move" to I don't know where and a "Discuss"

It looks like your music is uneasy to be classified in a subgenre and this is why your inclusion is getting so much time. To be honest I don't know what to think. Nobody apparently said "No, you're not prog"...

Let's try with Crossover.

If you can take me, I can keep you informed as well :-) we will evaluate you indeed, but it seems like we are final destination, either us or PA oblivion.

 Yeah, our system has many advantages in terms of categorization, but with it comes disadvantages too ... this "traveling band" syndrome, which we call "ping-ponging" is one of them.  

Hopefully, we can deal with the matter finally.

Somebody will have to write the band's bio. You can send your story to one of the crossover admins who can paste it.
Then somebody, even you, can add your discography. At this point somebody will likely write some reviews of them.

The process for Genesis and King Crimson was simpler, but in the end they have exactly one page as you will have Smile

As I don't want to go through a set number of pages - is this EP commercially available from somewhere, or is this a purebred digital giveaway?

Okies. Cover art, track listing, track times and all that formal stuff - is it assembled in an easily harvested fashion somewhere?

You could. Spending a few minutes at creating a bandcamp account (which is free), and putting up the album there with a name your own price option an even better one, which might even give you guys a few pennies in the beer account over time ;-)
Just in case such monetary matters is of interest to a band in this day and age *chuckles*

We'd be over the moon, if people wanted to pay for our records. We're just glad with people listening to our music if anything ha. But yes, I will create a bandcamp account. I'm currently waiting on Mike, the guitarist to forward over the tracks to me, we've recently re-mixed the tracks to a far better quality, than the recordings found on youtube and soundcloud. As soon as Mike get's his arse into gear and I've uploaded the tracks and info to bandcamp, I'll inform you. It will definitely be sorted by tomorrow. Cheers
