Shamesless self-publicity corner.

Dear all
I've been resisting the temptation to shout about the album the band I'm in released recently, but I've decided to stop hiding my light under a bushel. Whatever that is.
The album's called 'You Are Here', the band's called Litmus, we play space-rock like it never went out of/was ever in fashion, and it's got my Mellotron all over it. Imagine (if you will) Hawkwind with a more in-yer-face attitude and a full-time keyboard player armed with Hammond, Mellotron, MiniMoog etc. - a bit like their 'Mountain Grill'/'Warrior' period, but then again, not. Available via our website: http://www.litmusmusic.co.uk/, for an exceptionally reasonable tenner, or johnny-foreigner equivalent.
I was allowed to indulge my analogue fetish to the full, playing not one note of anything digital, although some of the others did. In fact, I was even encouraged to put more 'Tron on than I was expecting, although I'm still not sure why. Those of you who know me are probably surprised I haven't done something more in the 'progressive' line - there don't seem to be many prog types around with the right influences, at least not in London, but this lot asked me to join them a while back, largely on the strength of my keyboard collection (well, it wouldn't be my playing...).
Anyway, to my irritation, there still aren't any downloadable clips on the site yet, but I shall harangue until there are.
