A special shout-out to all our friends, fans and supporters; We love you all, this is all for you!
Austin performed a great creative interpretation on the Drums for track A 'The Recent Future'. Austin is a perceptive and intuitive drummer with a natural feel for the underlying rhythms of music. Thanks so much Austin. We hope to hear more from you on future releases!
Chuck is a wonderful soul and a good old friend of mine. He played an incredible drum track for Track H 'The Ends of Times'. He matched the mood and tone of the song 100%. Always fun to work with, and here's to more creative work (play) in the future!
