Simmons and "bald" in the same sentence, sounds like most of us I guess.  ;)

Good connection there... Tycho Brahe resided at Hven, an island, just 
off the coast of Helsingborg, the home of Covenant. BTW, "The Tivoli"? 
The rock club in already mentioned Helsingborg is called just that. Not 
that tivoli I guess? :-o

Hard to miss that snare in the recordings. ;)

But we want more Simmons sounds on the recordings, tell your drummer that!

Also, I prefer the more wavey stuff, "Delos" was a bit too 
futurepopish/dubish for me.
