The album that I last refered to in the 8/27/09 update has been out for a year now. Why am I just letting you know now? I have been learning how to update my website and I guess being the antiquated crab that I am, it takes me awhile to learn these modern things. But yes, it is called Mycorrhizae Realm and if you can't find it in your local record store you can order it from me. So stay tuned for more frequent updates!!

Happy birthday Dad AND Alice Coltrane. I ditched the 4 track, and recently recorded a studio album with Greg Weeks at Hexham Head, which features Mary Lattimore on harp and Helena Espvall on cello. It will be coming out on ATP records by the end of this year. Stay tuned for official release date.....

If anyone wants copies of the Fursaxa "Kobold Moon", Tau Emerald, or Anahita CDs they are $12 plus s&h (see merch page for s&h prices). E-mail at fursaxa@earthlink.net to order, I haven't been able to put them on the merch page......

I have 2 new releases to announce. The first is the Fursaxa "Kobold Moon" CD released on my own Sylph label. For this release I am very excited to be collaborating with the Belgian artist Alain Valet. Each cover is done by hand and he also designed the inserts. These are limited to 500 copies.

The next release is a Tau Emerald CD. It is a collaboration with friend Sharron Kraus. The name of the CD is Travellers Two and was recently released on Important Records.

I should have both listed on the merch page soon but until then you can contact me if you want to order anything.

I am also planning to do some touring in the UK in November with my ATP labelmate Alexander Tucker and with Sharron Kraus. I will post the dates in the 'shows' section as soon as they are all confirmed. I also have a couple of tracks on some new compilation CDs. One is on 'The Invisible
Pyramid' a Last Visible Dog compilation, and the other is on the 'Honeymoon Music Compilation'. As for merchandise, 'Mandrake' is the only thing that will be available right now."Amulet' and 'The Cult from Moon Mountain" will no longer be available as Cdr-s, because Chris Moon of the Last Visible Dog label is going to release 'Amulet' and a few tracks from 'The Cult...' on CD.
