OFF: Litmus in Hitchin

[Colin Allen]

Under the sign is well over 10 minutes and, yes, there is a long,long track on the new album:).  In total, the CD runs to about 76 minutes.
   
  The album is out on April 30th and is already available for pre-order online with HMV, Amazon etc.

Aha, thankyou. I've been trying to figure this out now, how many 
new tracks I've seen since the last album came out. I make it:

Destroy the Mothership!
The Tempest
Planetfall
Under the Sign
Helios
Psychic Projection
Far Beyond
and a rather worrying prog dirge with Marek singing that as far as I 
know they only did once then dropped like a stone, and wisely so

Two of those songs have to be nearly ten minutes each (`Under 
the Sign' and `Far Beyond') and I can't see any except `Mothership' and 
`Helios' being much less than five, and Martin told me there's one 
track so far unplayed which is longer even than `Stone Oscillator'. It's 
going to be a full CD... When's it coming out, Colin? when's it coming 
out? Yours,
Jon
