A chunk of it was paid for by profits from CD sales of "Tempus". My music is starting to pay for my music! Yay! I've never had any really decent guitar effects pedals, so this is long overdue and much-needed. I've ... http://blog.nellmedia.com/?p=20 I've just received a very satisfying review for "Tempus" from one of the biggest progressive rock websites on the Internet, Sea of Tranquility! It’s also featured as CD of the day on their front page. Read it here. The reviewer Pete Pardo really seems to have understood what I was ... http://blog.nellmedia.com/?p=19 I was just in New York City seeing the Flaming Lips for their two days at Hammerstein Ballroom.

I have this (almost certainly wrong) theory that, assuming the human race is still around, GG's output will be rediscovered ... http://blog.nellmedia.com/?p=13 My album "Tempus" has just been reviewed by Harp Magazine, a major music journal! (Available at news stands everywhere - or at least Borders, Barnes & Noble, Tower, etc). Read the review online here. I don't entirely agree with everything it says (new agey? Suzanne Vega-ey? And Gentle Giant ... http://blog.nellmedia.com/?p=11 I've added two new song downloads, "Choosing" and "Patchwork", to the nelljames.com music page. This is my first finished material after Tempus (outside of digital instrumentals).
