First things first, we are aware that we have not quite been holding up our end of the bargain in terms of updating with new posts. We don't have a very good excuse, but a glorious start to the new year, one Caribbean cruise and the inevitable end of all of our time off sure didn't help.

Alright! Now that we got that out of the way we can get on to the good stuff. The Jumping Fountains full-length is coming along nicely. All of the primary instruments (drums, bass, guitar and synth) have been tracked and await the nimble fingers and finely tuned ears of our sound engineer (and fearless leader), Chris Bigley. JF should be hitting the vocal booth, as time allows for it, over the next few weeks and beyond that, and a few other small instrumental parts, the CD should be finished. We are all starting to get very excited about the way the songs are coming together and are absolutely giddy with the thought that we will be able to share them with you in the not so distant future.

Until that day arrives, however, we will be sure to maintain a higher rate of "postage" on the VREX main page. Many thanks to all of you that have been checking back for updates, we will do our best to keep you fully supplied with the stuff you crave. For the time being, enjoy these shots of JF bassist, lovingly known as, "da beej".

Pendulum clock rock,

Jake
