Albums

Our 16 year Journey through our CDs, starting at the first (Self Titled) when we were almost an alternate folk acoustic band.  Our second CD (Jagaavo) added Sax, Flute & sitar, drum loops & samplers. The third CD (Headspace) where we lost the Sax & Flute (unfortunately) but added more guitar, plus even more drum loops, sequencers and samplers. Finally our forth CD (Tunnel Vision) where we used a lot more technology and Keyboards.

Unreleased Cover song:  Under the Milky Way
There have been a lot of requests for this song from the fans that saw us perform it live.  It was being recorded back in 2007 to go on the next album that never happened.  Our recording has been resurrected by Alan Dawson in 2020 from the guide tracks and finished tracks that were recorded back then.

Heads We're Dancing
