In fact, we have a release date! The official release date for "Mimi's Magic Moment" is 11/15/05. However, We will begin taking pre-orders for "MMM" on 9/15/05. What do you get for pre-ordering? Well, besides the scribbled, chicken-scratched autographs of all four Hillions, you’ll receive your copy of "MMM" one full month before the official 11/15/05 release. That’s right. Whilst most folks are unwrapping their copy over their Thanksgiving cookbooks, you’ll have had yours since 10/15/05. So check back at the SH music ordering site or at ProgRock Records around 9/15/05 to pre-order your copy!
The recording of the Tangent's third studio album is now taking place at a variety of locations throughout Europe. New Members Jaime Salazar and Krister Jonsson have been recording with Jonas Reingold, Andy Tillison and Theo Travis in Sweden, Guy Manning has been recording in the UK and France. more sessions are planned at all venues, with a view to completing the album around October for release early in the new year. At present, no title for the album has been decided, but there are several possibilities. At the time of writing it does look all set to be the first Tangent double CD set. Andy Tillison has told us that... "this is the Tangent's most ambitious project to date and features at least two large scale pieces as well as some shorter and easily accessible pieces. It also features some interesting departures. The new band is great, it proved that on the recent tour, and it's terrific to be recording the new album with that lineup." Anubis Gate Message on the Progpower site: After the cancellation of NOVEMBERS DOOM we have discussed what band we would like as a replacement. Because we do have a few bands that already played before, we wanted a band that hardly had played in The Netherlands and never played ProgPower before. From the bands we had in mind, ANUBIS GATE was on top of our list. In just one day we came to an agreement with the band, so we now officially announce ANUBIS GATE as the replacement for NOVEMBERS DOOM. This band from Denmark releases their second CD right now, entitled "A Perfect Forever", and so far it receives excellent reviews from the international press. We are sure this is a good replacement and we hope that you all agree. ANUBIS GATE will play as second band on Saturday, THROES OF DAWN will now play just before the diner break and ORPHANED LAND will play after the break.
DVD PT will be shooting the forthcoming concert at the Park West in Chicago on November 10th 2005 in the hopes of releasing this as their very first live document on digital video... Steven Wilson - Cover Version III (HDSWCD15) was recorded in July this year, and is the third in the ongoing series of two track CD singles featuring an unpredictable cover version, and an original song inspired by the cover version. Once again limited to just 1,000 copies, this third cover version departs somewhat from the unplugged format of the first two, being a more electronic treatment of the song in question. Total running time of the CD is approx 10 minutes, and it comes in a clear crystal case with no other artwork. The intention is that once the series is complete there will be a special package to house all of the discs. The first two Cover Version CD singles sold out very quickly so if you would like a copy please place your order soon. And when you get your copy SW requests that you please keep the name of the band and song covered to yourself, so as not to spoil the surprise for others! http://www.nomansland.demon.co.uk/
