    Thank you, Alan did a great job on the suite and makes it shine even more.
    Hopefully our next release (planned for 2015) will be even better... if you borrow us your magic hands

    As if keeping with the mysterious and haunted theme of our album, somewhere in transit between the manufacturing plant in Italy and Kimmo's shop in Finland, our beloved discs have vanished! The couriers would very much like to search for the lost CDs, but alas, their fingers are too fatigued after spending all day pointing blame at each other. We dearly hope the shipment reappears, but if not, we'll soon manufacture a new batch. We apologize for the delay to all who preordered this album, and promise to get the issue resolved as soon as possible.

    The album arrived today. What a wonderful artwork! The LP-version must be looking even better ;-)

    The music is loverly old fashioned symphonic rock. Well, what else can you expect when someone like Robert Webb from England participates. Well done!

    Great clip. This has been added to my wish list.

    Also, what a great cover. Boy, album covers like this really lose out on a cd jewel case. This really deserves the vinyl treatment just for the cover alone.

    Speaking of Robert Webb, his first solo-album (also on Seacrest Oy) "Liquorish Allsorts" is also a nice addition to my collection. It includes recordings this England-composer/singer/keyboard-player worked on the last 40 years. There are even some tracks that should be on the new England-album "Box Of Circles".

    I got this album a few days ago. To be honest I wasnt sure if it would be something for me ( I've been mainly listening te to avant prog lately). However, I am enjoying this. Its good well crafted retro prog. Not too pompous or to pretentious for its own good. Fav tune is limoncello.

    This is the first Samurai release for me. And I must say I am blown away!!!! Although I've only heard this one time, to me it is the best release of the year! And to see that England's keyboard player plays a big part just makes it better. (Garden Shed was a favorite of mine back in the day). I know this CD will get even better with each listen. Now I have to get their other two!
