^^ god I second that. Glad to see some recognize Pallas’s Dreams of Men album. That is a masterpiece in my opinion. It really is amazing and for those of who have the 2CD deluxe edition you did well. Highly worth it.

Oh right! We did have a conversation about this a few years ago. Good memory for sure. What a solid community we got here.
This is my 10th year being on P.A
Glad to still kick around here, especially with you, Richard.
