OK folks, this raw 6 track mini-album from 2001 (Samarkand's Spinning In Infinity) has yours truly on keys ... if you do check it out ... listen to tracks 5 and 6 first ... (some of the earlier ones are demo quality) ... http://s8.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3SHCO6ZPW37731WM5CUXGI2VYX - http://s8.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3SHCO6ZPW37731WM5CUXGI2VYX I've put it on yousendit so it's for limited time only ... all feedback welcomed ...

| Hi, is that your band? The singer has a good voice; what instrument/s do you play? |

Thanks Trotsky, that was good stuff!  Especially Prelude To Dawn (guitar & keyboard solos both excellent) and the dreamy Tangerine were quite nice!

Seriously, I really appreciate you taking the time to check it out ... hang on to it ... I'll negotiate with my ex-band members and someday soon I'll try and get the band on the site ...

| Checked it out too. Quite likeable and well written/recorded. Not much prog I'd say (except for track 6 maybe) , although there appears to be plenty of (early) Camel and Pink Floyd influence. |

I didn't mean it that way, those two just "stuck" in my head - remember
that was only the first listening, things may change in the future!  -------------

Thanks ... yeah the whole story is a very unfortunate one ... we had nearly two albums worth of proggy material like the last two tracks ... but yes maybe Camel style prog is a good reference ... unfortunately to get a deal we cut two of our more commercial shorter songs as a demo and then we got a verbal deal, but just 5 days into recording they decided to dump us after hearing the more proggy tracks ... much of it was rushed and there are things on virtually every track I'd like to fix ... include practically the whole of track 3! ... but the biggest shame is that after we decided to release it, the band suffered a fatal split ... without ever recording even 20% of the prog tracks ... ------------- "Death to Utopia!

I have dial up at home ... maybe you should forget it ... I'm not sure it's worth the effort if it's going to take you 12 hours plus to get the album ... I'll try and find a way to get you a copy if you're keen enough ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century.
