That was actually about two days worth, so I was cheating!

Yes, the new Arena is sort of out! I ordered the CD directly from the band, it was released on the 23rd of March and arrived four days later, pretty fair effort considering I live in Australia! I think it mentioned on their page that the general release is in about three weeks from now, but you could get in early by ordering it straight from the band. It's a great album! It's still very much in the hard-rock vein as their previous disc, but there's a lot more symphonic elements added back in, and the singer shows a lot more variety this time around. I think most Arena fans will love it

Alphataurus – s/t - finally got a nice new CD of this to replace my scrappy vinyl copy, such an amazing Italian album, so many different sounds and ideas. When I first started getting into the Italian prog albums, Museo Rosenbach’s `Zarathustra’ and this one were my first loves! You never forget your first time and all, in this case I was double teaming right from that start! Do you know this one, Sam?
