Yes the huge change in atmosphere was a concious decision, and i'm glad to hear that you noticed it!

I can't say anything much about album 3 as it's very hard to quantify my own music, you guys will have to ratify it once it's out!

All I will say is that i'm enjoying putting together the songs so far, and that there are already about 4 one take solos down on the audio pc! i've rehearsed a song with rayner and have about 6 others coming together, so watch this space

any news you'll hear here first................
