Today, I finished the recording of our 2020 Xmas song! What was going to be a simple little two or three minute piece ended up a 6-minute monster. Bizarrely, I have not added any original music to it, but it has been re-arranged in quite some fashion . . . …

Today, I’m working on the mix for Silent Night, our soon to come Xmas single for 2017. As you can see from the screen grab, it’s a complex little beastie! I’m hoping to complete the mix this weekend.
Just a quick update . . . I have now completed the recording of the instrumental version of this years Xmas single. As you can probably guess, it is Silent Night. But not any old Silent Night! No, this is a kitchen sink progressive rock epic! We have the usual …
Following the release of our Xmas single, we now have a Xmas video to go with it! Don’t get too excited, though, it’s a simple affair, but quite good considering the time it takes to view it is the time it took to make it. Almost! If you like it, …

Since we began releasing CDs, we have always priced them at well below market rate. Primarily, to give you a good deal and also because CDs were too expensive. Nowadays, if you shop on-line, most CDs can be had for around £8.99 (unless it’s osbcure / prog stuff!!). However, lots of indie / prog bands still sell them for around £11.99 – £16.99 and then sting you for postage! We have never done this. I think now, as I did then, that £7.99 to £8.99 is a fair price for a well recorded, professionally manufactured CD of great music. Such as ours 🙂
Roll up, roll up, get yer underground melodic progressive rock CDs for half price! That’s right, from now until Decemeber 31st, all our CDs are on sale for just £3.99. An utterly stupendous bargain. Buy one for yourself, for your friends, whatever – there has never been a better time …
