03/15/09: ***** MAILORDER *****
Okay, here’s the deal. Not everyone has Paypal, and I’m sure they take some sort of cut, so I’ve decided to try mailorder by the honor system. If you are interested in getting a hard copy of the CD with artwork, please send an email with your address to: [email protected]. I’m offering to mail you a cd, asking that you mail me $5 in return. I’ve got plenty of mailers ready to go.
Sincerely,
Tom Hamill
Thanks for your thoughtful listening.

"The agenda now is to actually ‘move’ ourselves and the audience, live. Despite all the crap Mogwai get written about them, live, they deliver on a scale we can only aspire to. You actually enter a frame you hadn't known existed before - same with Godspeed, Sigur Ros, etc. - bands that aren't just good, they emotionally move you, once the domain of only classical music. I've almost levitated onstage with the sheer ‘something’ of it all. Something unnamable." -Glen Johnson of Piano Magic
Thoughts shared by some:
You are a story teller, even if this isn't your primary goal. Your songs tell the most powerful stories I've ever heard, in a language that must be interpreted by the individual to carry significance. And your guitar seems to understand as well as you seem to understand your guitar. As if echoing your thoughts and emotions, your instrument translates your inner spirit with a voice that speaks more powerfully than the limiting vocabulary of a dictionary written by the laws of music theory and the expectations of your audience. And as it echoes it create reverberations, drawing strength from obstacles in its way and carrying your sincerity infinity through the minds of your listeners.
-Mike EK
Your music is mellow and refreshing, it evokes emotions from life's experiences. Some from childhood some from other fleeting highs and lows in my life…your music seems to further test self-reflection.
-Corey G
His sound still mystifies me as it seems to wherever he plays; with his Guitar, amp, and a glowing array of pedals including a looper, he preforms what really is one of the most uniquely beautiful albums I've ever heard; metallic, smooth, incredibly melodic, dynamic, and rhythmic.
-Paul P
