Do you mean _This Timeless Turning_ when you say "new" Sky Cries Mary?
I bought mine about a year ago, I recall.  Or do SCM have a recent
release?

I'm afraid I can't compare it to _Return to the Inner Experience_
because I don't have that one (yet:).  However, I really like _This
Timeless Turning_.  The ~15 minute dreamy, spacey "4:00 a.m." is worth
the price of admission alone, IMHO!!!  (The title is really apt!)
There's plenty of spacey, psychedelic stuff to get yer teeth into on
the CD.  I particularly like the use of vocals.  Reminds me of Gilli
Smyth, sometimes.  However, a friend, upon hearing the CD but not
knowing who it was exclaimed, "I've not heard It's A Beautiful Day in
a looong time" thinking it was them.

Which brings me to a plea: anyone know the catalogue number/label of
the *remastered* reissue of _It's A Beautiful Day_?  I've been meaning
to acquire that for some time...

Cheers,

Paul.
