Snowtorch!!! (Phideaux)

Yes indeed Snowtorch will be one of the CDs of the year from all reports. You are gaining quite a fan base right here Phideaux! I was deeply moved and stunned by the masterpiece Doomsday Afternoon. If its anything like that it will be a winner in my eyes. I just loved the diversity and quality of DD and I believe from what I have heard Snowtorch will live up to that standard. When great effort is put in, a deep comitment tothe music, and above all passion into a project it really shines through and it is appreciated by all those who listen. All the best on this new release, I hope to review it soon.

A link to the bandcamp for those who don't have 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!!!

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...

we have sold out that album and are in the process of remastering it for a new release.  We have also decided to convert our albums into cardboard sleeves like you would get with those collectible Mini LP edition CDs from Japan.  So, once we sell out a title, we will upgrade it.  Doom is next in line.

not for the cover, but you'll be able to get an upgraded copy of the sound via free download of .wav or flac files.  We definitely are doing this to improve the sound (and visual).  So, we will want folks who have already bought the album to be able to hear the new editions.  Much like we did with Number Seven where we offered folks either a trade of one disc for a new one, or a download.  Of course, that remastering was done so close to the initial release that it would have been incorrect to expect folks to buy the album a second time.

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?

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

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.

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