OFF: Litmus in Hitchin

[Colin Allen]

You have heard Lost Stations too; it is the "power ballad";).
   
  Amazingly, the band are now working on even more new material.

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
