6/24/11 "Raising Your Voice...Trying to Stop an Echo" is back into print on CD. It was redesigned as a six-panel digipak and we ordered some custom finish extras on the case, so it had to be printed and assembled in two different places and took a while to complete. Thank you for your patience and inquiries. "Chasing..." is back in print now and "Kenotic" is up next.      

6/12/11 From Keith Kenniff (Helios): "We have less than a hundred remaining copies (out of a total of two thousand copies) of "For Nihon" in stock. ". Once they're gone and the distributors have closed out their tabs, $32,780 will have been raised for earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan. Thank you.
