Thank you very much for adding us!

That's a fantastic list of influences you have. They really come through in your songs, which are well written and well produced. You come across as a very professional outfit. Keep up the good work!

Our singer (Dan) is heavily into Van Der Graaf Generator in particular, and although there's no doubt we're more "pop" than you, we'd love to hear your opinions on our music. (I think you'll like Walking Against the Wind and Rendezvous best.)

Thanks again!

Pleasure to have yer majestic company, yer talented bunch :)

Love yer playing, those are great melodies. 'Drawing board' sounds a bit like 'Shell' off 'Skin' in feel, a veritably good thing :)

We write a right bunch of surreal nonsense, but we do love our Hammill, gawd bless 'im :)

Cheers, yer stars,

Hi Dan and Deryn,

well... this is again so beautiful that I went straight to iTunes to buy the album.
I love it as much as your Entropik work, you're both so talented and creative!
Peter Hammill is never far away in these songs, even your voice is sometimes very close to his. Normally this would bother me, but with music this good I don't have that feeling at all. I am a Peter Hammill fan since the early seventies, and when I hear an album like yours, I already know I will love it forever...
I'll end with the title of the last song: You take my breath away!

Jef

PS I have added the album to my recommendations on my myspace page.

Hi D & D!
Danny, your vocals are so incredible. Every time I hear, "You're my every night" I just well up. I think this is one of the most touching love songs I have ever heard. It reminds me of how much I love the love of my life, as I believe you love yours!

Thank you dear friend! You both mean the world to me.

So Blessed!

Hi Dan and Deryn

Just listened to the entire set of tracks on the player again and it's reminded me of why I fell for your music so strongly in the first place. Close to Home live is wonderful, I'd love to see you performing live... and hopefully will some time :)
