Dave's a very quick study and is learning the existing tunes very fast. We have our next rehearsal on Monday and Dave's going to bring some of his tunes for us to listen to.

A CD will likely be done before any live gigs, but both are coming as quickly as we can manage while keeping the quality high.

Well things sure change. as posted on another thread, the first gig is 5/14/06 or 14/05/06 for the Europeans.

This band is going to be taper friendly. All we ask for in return is that you send us a copy of the recording.

Rehearsal was great yesterday and there should be a suprise song or two for those who attend.

Can't wait to see OS at Orion. Should be a great night.

Bill/Frank: You won't really need fan recordings from the Orion gig, will you?

~Mark

OBSun will be less structured than HTM in the arrangements. There will be a good amount of improv going on and song will be less the same each time you hear them live. This will make each show unique and better for collecting. Also taping will allow fans to trade recordings with our European friends who have a difficult time going to the shows in the states.

I only asked that question because I assume the band members will get their own soundboard recording. But I pledge to try to get a decent audience recording (not expensive equipment...just a minidisc and some "binaural" mics), and can provide others with a copy of whatever I get.

My buddy and I have not made the minor edits to my recording from Orion that I was planning on making. But they are truly minor edits. I sent my recording and package to the guys in the band and they all replied with gratitude. I've received no messages that I shouldn't share it with everyone, so next week when I've returned from NEARfest and am on vacation at home, I vow to make a few copies available for trading. Sorry, I don't do torrenting/file-sharing. I'd like to make three copies, two for U.S. recipients, and one for a European recipient. The lucky three who get copies should make copies for themselves and forward the "original" discs to someone else. I suggest exchanging messages here, but individual replies can be sent to the poster. So I'll start...the first three to respond to me off-list will be sent a copy. OK...feeling generous...I'll bump it up to four recipients.

Really looking forward to hear this show and see the special package you've done. Lots of thanks!!!

I'm up fpr a copy. If one of the lucky recipients would be so kind to contact me when they get their copy I would appreciate it.

Only two requests were made to me directly. I'm sending copies to Peter in Sweden and Al in the UK. Bubinga, if you write to me directly, I have an extra copy ready. If you do not respond in the next couple of days, I will offer this copy to someone else.

~Mark

I will be sending my third copy to Scott, just "down the road" from me, and he can offer it back to the Forum, preferably to U.S. residents. Al & Peter can offer copies to our European contingent.

~Mark

Sorry Mark for not responding. I thought Peter should have it, so I didn't want to get in the way. He already wrote to me he would send me a copy, so this is the place to say "Thank you" to you, at least in advance

- Thank's Steamingears!!! It's really funny because I waited a couple of days to respond with the thought that I didn't wanna steal the chance for other fans who might be interested in a copy. Seems like we are bunch of very considerated fans ;D

Mark, personally I think it's agreat idea that me and Al forwards our cd's to the European fans. I believe that's the idea, -To make a copy of cd and cover and then forward the original OBSun disc to the next reciever, or am I wrong!?

Thanks to Mark, i received my copy today. Great to have ... especially for those of us who cannot get to the gigs.....
If any other European members still need a copy, let me know.

Cheers Al

Oblivion Sun has finally reached the European ground ;D

I got my copy today as well, lot of thank's to you Mark for the fine package you've done! I buy the next round ;D!

And the music? Well I guess many of you have heard "Fanfare" at the Oblivion Sun's my space so you know this band is something special. Awesome progressive rock fusion and beyond. You gotta hear this Oblivion Sun double disc music magic.

I will send the original package to Steamingears soon.

I, ME!!!


Thanks!

I have received my copy of the show. Thanks omark!! I have a few folks to make copies for, but once I have that done anyone who is interested in a copy, email me and I will get omark's original to you.

;D ;D ;D

Any volunteers for a follow-up? I'll make some copies for my colleages of Xymphonia and maybe iO Pages.

Thanks to Mark and everyone for spreading the tunes.

I'll be putting up a couple more tunes on the my space page later today.

I'm done making my copies. Sounds and looks great omark!!
Whoever wants me to pass on the originals let me know.

I, ME!!!

Thanks!


Gulliver, if you send me a pm with your address, i'll send you the discs on to you.

Al

i'm shipping Gulliver's discs on Monday, and a guy from the Camel website also wants a copy that i'll sort for him....... looks like the music is getting around ..... we are spreading the word !! What next ?? A European tour ;D!!

I'm giving the show it's first serious listening right now. Damn it's good!! I've sent a number to friends ( a couple who were at the show). Still no one in the US who has requested I send the originals to them. I know you are out there!!

Yeah, maybe OS can manage the one thing HTM couldn't: playing in Europe!

We are certainly planning on coming over to vist and gig. We're trying to make it happen right when the CD is released. Anybody have ideas about venues??

For the Netherlands you should try to get in contact with Adrie Versteeg at info@boerderij.org He's one of the leading promotors of progressive music over here.
