Maybe the tax agencies will accept some free music instead.  Clown
I do believe that they allow a writeoff for alcohol and other hallucinogens that contribute to the artistic creation of the music.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Well, I've heard several of the tracks. Overall, I like the album. Tasha's vocals are quite good and I think adequately used. I heard Bold Eternal Day, really good. Riddles in the dark is good but didn't really satisfy me like most of the rest of tracks. I loved Fade as a closer (I would love it as anything, really), and so did I Effulgence, the opener. Refulgence takes more time, I'm not a big fan of gigantic prog songs but on first hearing it shows two elements that I need in elephantic tracs: coherence and structure. I liked it. But I really loved A Handful of Humanity, both musically and lyrically. I'll hear the other three songs later on today. I just must say: you are a prog musician Robert. And a good one at that. 

Now let's somehow regulate the distribution of music... Tongue Clown


Thanks for checking it out and for your kind words.

I'm just hoping I don't get a letter from the government saying I must purchase a license to create and sell music digitally.  Or they might just forgo that and send the SWAT team.  Whichever works.

Well done Robert. Lovely cover, and I enjoyed my first listen to a couple of the tracks this evening (couldn't listen too much as we had company for dinner and I'm going out soon), but I will return!

BTW, I think that Bandcamp is an excellent site, allowing listeners to stream and then purchase based upon that experience.

I've no doubt that there will be some Welsh dollar winging its way over soonClap

Even a little KC.
 
Great job. I'll be listening some more. Great choice for free streaming but pay to get the goods.


Thanks- that means a lot.  The first album will be getting a polishing in weeks to come and I'll add that to the website.

Congrats!
 
That is a pretty sweet cover. The color scheme alone is near breathtaking.
 
I'll give a listen at some point as well.
