Correct, but so we would keep our "date" with destiny and still get out album out at the spring equinox (which was our agreement with the spirits of the forest) we put it up on bandcamp for immediate download...


Hi Phideaux, any chance Snowtorch will be available on itunes in the near future. Here in Namibia this is often the only way to get good music - at least in a legal way, appart from ordering the CD which usually gets lost by the Namibain postal service. Can't wait for Snowtorch!

Don't worry Bonnek, it's following the natural curve whereby the friends and supporters hear it first.  It will very quickly take its natural place downwind...

According to the ranking it's better than "In The Court Of The Crimson King".  Fancy that!!!!

LOL.  Once the general public hear it, they will weigh in.  Of course I did offer the full version for free to anyone who wanted it, so anyone has been able to hear it for the past fortnight.

Cheers and thanks for the update. 

Oh, and thanks for the kind remarks and critiques from those who have heard it.

A few more reviews and the album will be No1 PA Prog album of all time. Made it to position No7 already.

I've listened to Snowtorch 4 times now and I think it's safe to say you've done it again Phideaux. Absolutely beautiful. Clap

You can rest assured that I will continue to buy everything you put out. LOL

Bonnek, I'm not sure you will necessarily like this one.  It has a lot in common with Number Seven and Doomsday.  However, if you liked what you heard on here, then it's pretty much of that ilk.

If Snowtorch is half as good as Number Seven, Doomsday Afternoon or for that matter The Great Leap, I'll be a happy bunny Approve.

Just listened once on Bandcamp and must say I'm impressed.
I was disappointed with the previous albums (Doomsday included) but this has a very immediate appeal to the prog-person in me.
Must listen to Doomsday again...

Doom has been out of print for a few months now.  At any rate, we are upfront about these sonic upgrades and we always offer our listeners the option to burn a new copy of the sound.  Of course, when we upgrade the sound it doesn't mean a recall.  :-)


I have the original edition of Number 7, so where can I download the upgraded copy?

Dammit!!!LOL

Is there going to be any kind of exchange program? Tongue

And if I have your attention, do you have any spare copies of the Number Seven CD booklet?  Mine was ruined in the flood 9/21/09.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Okay, cool.  Also, is Doomsday Afternoon a limited release or something, because I can't seem to find it on CD anywhere!  I'm one of those that has to have a physical copy of everything I like.

So Snowtorch on CD will be available, just delayed?  I just discovered Phideaux's music and am very interested in this album after reading nothing but stellar reviews on it.

That's not too bad at all, I'm excited for it too, even though I was born right before CDs took over. And Number Seven and Doomsday on vinyl - wow - that's also awesome news!!! Shocked

Congrats on your guys' first LP!

I think the vinyl will take two extra weeks.  Sadly!  I am excited for the vinly release though as this will be our first LP!!!  It will transport me back to my youth with gatefold covers and artwork to lose myself in...  I can't wait to get the Doomsday and Number Seven LP versions prepared!

Great news Phideaux Big smile. Is the vinyl version going to be available at the same time as the CD version?
