Richard!!!

What a divine orchestra you have!
The ever changing melodies and arrangements, the wonderful instrumentation,
the female voices so alluring, forever engulfing us on an island of myth come to life!
Feelings run wild steeling us away to a place only imagined in the eye of Ulysses.
So appealing... so surreal-"Skulls In The Stars" is such sheer visionary magic!!!

Swept away am I. Your music has cast me out to the aisle of mermaids.
I'll never return the same and I am glad... glad to see the comments of your intrinsic friends
who are also with me on this journey. You have serious listeners!

Thank you and your talented smiling musicians who make this vision come alive!
Looking forward to exploring your entire catalog.

You have a 'new-big' fan in the states.

Cheers, Vincent
