craigb Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Well I'll be, er, darned! I just found that I have Aeon! Bought back in 2017... I guess I just need the main studio albums, ya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synkrotron Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 16 minutes ago, craigb said: Me likey! Thanks Craig The project started off with just the two guys, Tony and Keith, just the usual bedroom stuff. I figured not very much in that band. I provided some synthy stuff mainly. But then they asked if I had any ideas on taking a "show on the road" and I came up with the idea of sticking stuff we couldn't play live, as a three piece, on a hard disk recorder. As for purchasing the CD, I have two hundred of the damn things in me loft. Proper CD, not CDR. Not sure about online... They have a Bandcamp page but that album isn't on there. I need to get in touch with Tony to see if we could shift those CDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
