I got an email from Jeff Brockman some minutes ago with these sad news. Please have a look at http://www.brettstranne.com/%20 - http://www.brettstranne.com/ and send positive thoughts and prayers about Brett and his family. Donations can also be made on the website above. There is also a news blog there with the latest - hopefully good news !!! - updates on Brett's situation. I hope that we can bring a Cairo interview later this year. But at the moment, Cairo very understandable have other priorities. I will update you on the ongoing developments. |

Brett Stranne=Brett Douglas? Oh man I'm sorry really to hear that. Already eight years wating for the news from this band.... but this is the worst I can imagine. Amazing singer of a very underrated band. Check out Cairo whose you don't know them - you'll be probably pleasantly surprised by the music, and skills. A wonderful mixture of Yes, ELP, Boston and Dream Theater elements, executed in exciting and andventurous way . Like also Brett's stuff on the cover of South Side of the Sky and on Explorer's Club's Age of Impact album. Keep updating please! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/trevorrabin/?chartstyle=basic10" rel="nofollow">  <a href="http://steveer.ic.cz" rel="nofollow" |

I loved their first 2 albums, and some of their thrid one. This guy is a very gifted vocalist.
After Ari Up's death, another sad news. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |
