Hi there from Also Eden - a shiny new UK prog band. We were to have played progSfest in October (Arena were on the Friday, we were playing the Saturday), but as the event is now cancelled, we've come to you here!

Please check out our new website, www.alsoeden.com ; there are a few mp3 samples and one full track on there from our album demos. We'd be very pleased to get your opinions.

Cheers, Also Eden

Well, I for one would buy it.

Chug-a-chugga axe c/w mellontro and Maus organ gets me every time...!

----> RPWL ----> early Marylion ----> early Citizen Cain ----> Bendragno "anthemic" ----> good = purchase...!

Put a link onto your website for "pre-orders"...let us (me) know when you've done that, and I'll sign-up.

I like it! It's very good, let me know when that album's done!

Noah · Fri, 2005-06-03, 16:12:23

Moonloop · Tue, 2005-06-07, 10:09:53

Thanks for the kind words, chaps; it's very encouraging. I just wish I understood all the references ...

gelert · Wed, 2005-06-08, 21:09:25

I think that you had to be there, Jaguar...

(Especially on a deserted railway-station platform, completely uncontaminated by free beer...!)

That notwithstanding, release the CD...

Moonloop · Thu, 2005-06-09, 09:14:56

Yes, the CD. Release the CD so we can stop talking about railway stations and the lack of free beer

gelert · Thu, 2005-06-09, 19:56:00

Yo, Jaguar...

I'd advise your Marketing Department to avoid organising a CD-Launch Party at Northern Railway Stations...

...because it appears that there will always be ONE MORE Railway Station in Northern Towns, than is shown on ANY map...

...and only at THAT Railway Station, will free beer be available...

...er, it sez 'ere...Â

jaguar · Thu, 2005-06-09, 22:36:49

So, chaps, the plan is ...

launch the CD on a disused railway station, somewhere oop north with loads of free beer.

Might just work ...

I'll bring the marketing department up to speed when it gets back from the pub!

Yes, the CD. Release the CD so we can start talking about railway station locations and the massive quantities of free beer that will be available...

What he said...!

The cunning plan now revolves around launching our first album at The Summer's End Festival in Gloucester, Sept 17th (plug, plug!). Festival site at http://www.summerend.co.uk - there's beer and Gloucester has a station, so we're nearly there ...Â Â

Sept 17th......

Think that clashes with the new Quo album. Best to rethink, you don't want to harm your first week sales

oh, btw, hope you're doing a limited edition individually numbered and signed digibook format with bonus DVD

jaguar · Fri, 2005-07-22, 17:39:07

If we don't speed the recording process up a little, they'll be VERY limited edition, personally signed and fresh off the CD burner on my PC!

With regard to the bonus DVD, never ask a band for anything visual until you've seen what they look like!

Point taken

No lush female backing singers then

Moonloop · Tue, 2005-09-27, 16:48:13

So.....is it out yet then..??

Ian Lay · Tue, 2005-09-27, 23:06:32

Doesn't look it's out according to the website. I've just found this thread and I'm listening to the mp3 files on the website now. I must admit I'm quite taken by the music..

At times they sound like early Arena and there is a passage in "Between" that is so fish-era Marillion it's untrue.

But they still seem to create a sound of their own.

Looking forward to when the album comes out.

Cheers,

Ian

Nearly finished ... almost ... sort of ...

Struggling with lack of funds and facilities at present, but hope to be sorted by Christmas (but not saying which Christmas).

Gig in London on November 6th, though, if any of yooze are close.

Cheers, Huw

Ian Lay · Tue, 2005-09-27, 23:28:39

I live in Harlow so may be able to get down to it. Where in London?

Cheers,

Ian

jaguar · Tue, 2005-09-27, 23:35:54

Thanks for the update. Why not 'do a Marillion' and pre-sell..?? You may even get as much as Â£50 off this forum

Ian Lay · Wed, 2005-09-28, 23:32:18

Thanks for the address. I will try to make it. Moonloop's idea is not a bad one. I think you would get a few from this forum who would purchase.

Cheers,

Ian
