Pete,
Sorry for not mentioning it earlier but I've really been enjoying The Depths of Winter. I think it is your best work yet. True, it is a more 'serious' album, quite a bit darker than the last two (and having read the Prog interview I can appreciate why) but I think it will stand the test of time better as a result. There are some fantastic vocal performances and your musicianship on lots of different instruments has me as envious as ever!

I am assuming that there were a few deliberate nods to Frost* in there, not the least being on The Tears of Frigga, which has some very Milliontown moments (and even has the line "And although the frosted berries"!). There's quite a Genesis feel to some songs too - I thought you maybe had Mr Hackett guesting on Sleigh Ride with that amazing guitar sound - but overall a clear TMT sound is emerging.
I recently got a ticket to see Camel in Newcastle later next year, neatly killing 2 birds with one stone as I finally get to see Camel live and I also get to see you play live! You never know, I might get a chance to say hi before or afterwards.
