A repeated question: are there any volunteers to be the next one to receive the European original from this great show? Be the first and be the happiest

After listening briefly to the show from the Mark-CD's and after reading about HTM new sleeping period, I wonder why Frank and Stan haven't decided to use the more known name of HTM for this new outfit. After all they are the key-composers and original members, besides Rick of course (but even Pink F. could go on without their bassist ). You guys are even playing HTM-songs! Look at Andy Latimer: he continued to use the name Camel, while no ones left from the early days. The music changed quite a couple of time due to different musicians. HTM could be a changing line-up too and keep their household name, which is famous around the world. Just some thought...

Greetings gang. It appears I am late getting in on this discussion. However, I would greatly enjoy receiving a copy of the OBSun masters if available. Work me into the loop of possible.

Hi JH,

I just sent you an email, so you should be the next in the list to get this great performance.

Rene, I wish HTM were a household name. As far as your thought on HTM, they are under contract and Oblivion Sun is a new band with all original members. The band was started before HTM took their break. I do expect that HTM will do new things down the road so using the name would not be kind or appropriate to the other members of the band.

The writing is split fairly even between Frank, Stan and I at this point. Dave and Chris are going to bring tunes to the band soon. Frank's tunes are the most HTM like at this point. Stan's stuff is more heavy and vocal than most of his HTM tunes. My stuff is HTM like at times, other times they have a bit more of a groove element (OK, it might be a 7/8 groove) than the HTM stuff.

We're still refining the tunes for the new CD and look forward to starting the recording in the next 6-8 weeks.

Best to all,
bp

Thanks Bill for this clear answer. I guess I partly knew the story behind it, but sometimes it's nice to think loud on a webforum like this especially when you get the answers from the ones concerned.
Good luck with the CD!

Hi JH,

The CD's are on their way to the States (again). Sorry, couldn't keep them on European ground, as there were no HTF's that reacted on my post.

Have fun with the music!

Well, at least we have the copies to share if any or some HTF or OS fan wants it later on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, by the way... BIG thank's to Oblivion Sun for letting us fans share this great show.

I still have my copy. Anyone who wants me to send it to them please shoot me an email. I'll be out of town for a bit, but will respond as soon as i can.

Hi, I'd like to get to the orbit around Oblivion Sun, if possible. Who would I send my address to.

Firth-got your message. CD's are packed and ready to go out on Monday..enjoy!!

Scott,

Thanks so much. I'll be able to pass those soon. Cool.

Firth
Were you at the show?

Is there somebody in Europe who wants them?

Scott,

I was at the show and was quite surprised at how well the performance went off. Chris Mack's drums were in a different position which made for a better mix of the drums than other performances. Probably made for better bootlegs as well. DeMarco bass performance was outstanding. Bill Plummer was surprising on keyboards, but he was missed by me as the mix engineer. A fantastic mixing board, but Stan's solid body need more volume. The hollow body was great though. I think Paul Reed Smith (designer of Stan's, Santana, Al Dimeola, and many other's guitar) was there that night. Can't wait till they get that CD out, so more shows will happen.

Paul Reed Smith was there. It was a great performance. Can't wait till the next show.

Paul's a very good friend of the band and we were very happy that he came out to support us!!

For those who have yet to vist the OBSun myspace site, please stop by.

bubinga,

Thanks for the OS CDs. I noticed that myself and a friend are on the back of the cover. In the picture of the room of folks, I am in the front row, all of the way to the right with the left side of my face at the right edge of the picture.

Thanks again,

Chris

I would like to get a copy of the OS show at Orion. I was there and in the front row. What an amazing show. Who do I contact to get CDs and or DVD of the show?

George K

Whoever has one of the three "masters" I mailed out, please cough it up for George. If no one speaks up soon, George, let me know.

~Mark

I'll send one out, please e-mail me the mailing info.

OK, Firth. Email is on the way.

I took those crowd shots just before the music started, standing with my back to the stage, and raising the camera above my head.

~Mark

Mark: I am in possession of one set of "masters". They came to me from steamingears. Let me know where they need to go next.

Tks,

JH

George needs to speak up if he still needs a copy. I don't have his address.

~Mark

Fifth and I are suppose to meet at a Stan & LeeAnne gig. We haven't decided when as yet. I'm looking at maybe the Cheshire Crab on September 22nd. Will that work for you, Firth?

Post a reply here or send me an email.

George,

Sorry for the delay due to vacations and what not. Is the Cheshire Crab non-smoking? Anyway I'll try and get these out today.
