The cover looks like it was heavily influenced by the John William Waterhouse painting of the same subject.

Ordered. Now the waiting.
Yeah, I would say so...

The Chattanooga show is set for March 20 at the same venue we recorded the Lex Live DVD years ago - Rhythm&Brews. I know there's a few local guys lurking on PE - so, hope you see this and can make it out. We'll be doing a few songs we've never performed live - should be a great show.
Thanks!
Steve
Hopefully you knew about this already. :-)
"Heavily influenced" probably isn't the right way to put it. It's like a reinterpretation for a different context. That actually fits with the theme of the album. In any case, the cover looks great. I can't wait to wear the t-shirt.
I'm a huge fan of Waterhouse. Our artist sent us several classic images of Narcissus, which is what I wanted for the cover. He then went to work on this creating what I think may be our best looking cover.
Funny though - he's a Death-metal guitarist doing a cover for Glass Hammer. I think that's kinda funny at least. Michael Xaay Loranc.
Glad you like it!

This is totally OT but let me just say this, I was listening to "Live and Revived" the other day and I can't express how funny it is when "Something's Coming" suddenly launches into the Simpsons theme. I think I've laughed at that every time.
Listened to disc 2 of Inconsolable twice tonight. Strange perhaps but it's building my anticipation for the new one! Love the GH.

Ordered! Not entirely sure how one can have an ode to an echo, but, what the heck, samples sound grrrrrreat! First Transatlantic, now GH and soon IQ ..... goosebumps!
Just out of curiosity, who's handling vocals for the March 20th show? Assume CG?
Carl and SuzieAs for the other, the album is a tribute to the analog echo units of old, including the Space Echo and the Echoplex!
Or not.
Ah, see, that never occurred to me - clearly you guys are cleverer than I! Is 'cleverer' even a word ..... spell check says yes, so it must be!
What will be the line-up for the Quebec city show on may 17th ?
Suzie will be there ?
Are you going to play "When we were young" ?
Yes, same line up for all three scheduled shows (Chattanooga, Moodies Cruise, Quebec). WWWY is not on the setlist (as of right now, anyway) but some great music is- things we've never played before
CD has shipped! E-mail confirmation this morning. Looking forward to it!

Ooh nice, I'm not at a place where I can access email, but that means cds arriving perhaps this week? Tempus fugit all right.

No shipping notice for me.....but I'll be patient!
NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!
No shipping notice for me either
Thanks for sharing! I'm one of those fans who wasn't crazy about the Yes inspired direction, though I still liked If and Cor Cordium. Perilous was far more to my liking however. And now with the returning vocalist, and judging from the samples, some killer sounds, I'm pretty excited about this release.
Shipping notice this morning for me.
Same here.
No shipping notice for me, bummer.
