Sometime this year, don't know when.  I hope the three Mystic and the Muse tracks will be included...again, don't know if that is the case.   

Meanwhile, one of the tracks Cry to the world (featuring Ian Anderson Clap) has been posted on soundcloud by Renaissance.

I just learned today that Dunford passed away last year.

RIP to one of Renaissance's mainman.
 
Does anyone know when the new Renaissance album is planned for release ?
and will the 3 songs of the EP 'the mystic and the muse' be part of this album ?

He was 68, which means he was born in ... 1944 unless he did not have a B-day this year.

If that was a reply to my request, could you have at least bothered to provide the information of his age that he passed away while writing about finding anything on google
 
Sounds like the common sense thing to do, as I would not have asked such a question without googling first

A HUGE loss for progressive rock. I'm certain the band will now dedicate the new album to him. And no doubt it will be great. Michael and Annie recently said the new album could possibly be the best the band has ever produced, and with Michael's brilliant, memorable and timeless writing, I also have no doubt that this may be the case. R.I.P.  Michael. Indeed this is a very sad time for progressive rock fans.  ]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2012 12:22:54 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=90715&PID=4665895#4665895 Michael Dunford RIP (Renaissance) : Another sad lossRIP http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=90715&PID=4665860#4665860 Author: njb0168

Oh, terrible news...

`Scherezaade' (spelling?) was one of the very first prog albums I heard, and I loved the band ever since. I've treasured so many of their albums, including their less-loved ones.

These days, I listen to Renaissance a lot when I'm on my quiet nightshift blocks, when there's not as many people in my office so I can pay extra attention to them.

So long and farewell to such an important member of a defining progressive rock band, and I'm sure we'll all enjoy their new album with newfound nostalgia when it shows up next year.

Tragic news.  Thanks for all the great music, Michael.  So glad that I finally got to see Renaissance perform here in Massachusetts a couple of years ago.  RIP.]]> Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:21:36 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=90715&PID=4665476#4665476 Michael Dunford RIP (Renaissance) : http://renaissancetouring.co... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=90715&PID=4665470#4665470 Author: Finnforest
