Thanks man!

Listening now on bandcamp.  Great stuff and congratulationals!

I'm digging "Bold Eternal Day" pretty hardcore

Maybe the tax agencies will accept some free music instead.

Riddles in the dark is good but didn't really satisfy me like most of the rest of tracks. I loved Fade as a closer (I would love it as anything, really), and so did I Effulgence, the opener. Refulgence takes more time, I'm not a big fan of gigantic prog songs but on first hearing it shows two elements that I need in elephantic tracs: coherence and structure. I liked it. But I really loved A Handful of Humanity, both musically and lyrically. I'll hear the other three songs later on today. I just must say: you are a prog musician Robert. And a good one at that.  Now let's somehow regulate the distribution of music...

Thanks for checking it out and for your kind words.

I'm just hoping I don't get a letter from the government saying I must purchase a license to create and sell music digitally.  Or they might just forgo that and send the SWAT team.  Whichever works.

I like the "heavier" aspect - it's not metal, it's more like Steve Hackett's first album. In fact, I was reminded of that album alot, though of course the Kansas and Camel peek in. Even a little KC.   Great job. I'll be listening some more. Great choice for free streaming but pay to get the goods.

Thanks- that means a lot.  The first album will be getting a polishing in weeks to come and I'll add that to the website.

Is that Tasha behind the mirror?
