| Floyd's influence? They're by the same artist...I believe his name's Storm T. (for lack of not knowing how to spell his/her last name). Look into it if you're curious...I'm pretty sure it's the same person designing. |

Oh yes, I remember feeling the same way when I found out that Thorgeson did TMV's covers. Truly an amazing band, first off, and then to attract Storm into the mix... fantastic. |

Frances the Mute. At least I bought a good 'un! |

This is always embarrassing, because I tend to spend more money on building my back catalogues than on new stuff, because I wait for the prices to drop... having said that, I own:
I am waiting for prices to come down on the new Pendragon, Pallas, Presto Ballet & VDGG among others... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.
