I sort of classify all of Alan's solo projects as "Alan's solo projects" regardless of how they are billed. ;)  There's stuff I like from (obviously enough) his HW tenure through Captured Rotation and on through the relative present with Eclectic Devils, but he tends to have a great songs scattered here and there (IMO) instead of consistently great albums -- or a consistently great album or two.  If you took all of Al's best stuff, _that_ would be a pretty great album. :)  I realize that he's probably sunning on a shoe-string, and musicians with whom one might work are flaky, and some cover-band stuff will pay the bills, but ... Oh well!

Anyway, I think we can assume that there isn't much market for space-rock ;) though there seems to have been a renaissance in stoner rock in recent years. (Not that I suspect this translates into huge revenues for anyone ...)

Cheers,
Carl
