Colossus, the Finnish Progressive Music Association, in conjunction with French record label Musea, will release the follow up to the highly acclaimed tribute to Finnish Progressive Rock of the 1970s, TUONEN TYTÄR, released in 2000 by Italian label MELLOW RECORDS (MMP 385 AB). Marco Bernard is the producer of the "TT2" compilation which will be a double CD box-set including 20 bands.

Pinnacle was asked to contribute a track and we gladly accepted. For now, we're going to keep the song title a secret, but we are covering a song by the Finnish band Finnforest.

The other bands will be:
PAX ROMANA, AARDVARK, OVERHEAD, OZONE PLAYER, GROOVECTOR, TKINGDKEYS, KOSMOS, MIST SEASON, ORNE, THE PHASE, STRINGPUREE, JEAVESTONE, SCARLET THREAD, VIIMA, ONSÉGEN ENSEMBLEPIECE OF CAKE, AGENESS, ELEKTROSHOCK, MAN ON FIRE, KARMIC JAGGERNAUT, B612, EQUILIBRIO VITAL, and SIMON SAYS.

Bill Fox describes some interesting technology he
is using in his new essay Fun With Gadgets

Karl talks about mastering MELD: "For everyone who doesn't know, (which kind of included me until just recently, ) “Mastering” is the process a collection of songs goes through to make it sound like an “album.” The songs are given similar EQ and compression characteristics and are leveled out at a similar volume. It sounds much simpler than it is…" (more)

how they have been managing to stay out of trouble.
