Blinded by Time – Coming Soon

21st July 202021st July 2020 by Steven McCabe

I finished the remaster of our third album ‘Blinded by Time‘ yesterday. I must say, I was very surprised by this one; more so than the previous two. I need to gather my thoughts and write some notes about it. Apart from a few cheesy synth sounds, this is a …

Lots of you have asked me about the possibility of making the very early releases available for sale again. I have usually said that that would be unlikely to happen. Anyway, while doing some archive work I noticed that some of our releases that are on Bandcamp are not available …

Spock’s Beard – Come on Down, the Price is Right!

14th August 201620th August 2014 by Steven McCabe

What’s this? Another live album from Spock’s Beard? Yes indeed, but this time featuring erstwhile leader Neal Morse on a couple of tracks.

However, I am mentioning this album for another reason altogether! Well, two reasons:

It’s on Bandcamp, which means I don’t need to put up with poor quality MP3s from the likes of Amazon / Google | iTunes etc
It’s being sold for a sensible price: $7.00

This is a great deal. Some bands seen to think they can get away with charging more than the cost of the actual CD! Ridiculous.

So, kudos to the Beard. I pre-ordered my copy and am pleased to say it is excellent. I will likely review it when I can.

Recently, Bandcamp re-vamped their already great embedded media players into something even better! All three versions look fantastic: smooth, crisp and pretty slick.
