Can’t get enough of Charlie’s music and Dan’s art. Such a beautiful combo. I’m a fan!

[@nathanaelcole8466]

So pumped to hear Vladimir is back! Seriously, one of the most talented vocalist I have ever heard. Up there with Devin. Tiktaalika and hearing his voice led me down the rabbit hole of him and his band Organized Chaos and then to David Maxim Miccic (also of Organized Chaos) and his solo stuff was one of my greatest recent musical discoveries.

Word!

Can't wait to buy and listen to the new album. Charlie remains among my very favorite composers and purveyors of riffy fretology. ♪♫♪

Nice one, Jim and Charlie and thanks for the explanation for the 'band' name and sleeve art but the gatefold inner is so much better.

[@JimNewstead]

Isn't it fab?

[@austinkokelsmusichotel8762]

Carcass shirt on one side and Rainbow Rising vinyl on the other. I'm among friends here!

[@JimNewstead]

Yes you are! Welcome in, glad you're here!

[@nathanaelcole8466]

So far Magellan is rocking! I am getting some Yes and ELP so far.

[@nathanaelcole8466]

Sounds like you don't have a vinyl copy of Tiktaalika yet? You need to pick it up, lots of cool stuff including a historical lesson on all that.

[@JimNewstead]

You’re right…. But I’ve got one en route as we speak!
