THE PASSING
PARADE Caps are for emphasis only. No table of contents which means you have to
read the entire issue to find out everything that's happening.
:-) ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction Welcome
to the latest edition of The Passing Parade, the aperiodical newsletter
from Think Tank Media. The big news this time is that the complete
studio catalog of Rocket Scientists -- with all bonus tracks and the
latest remastering -- is now available for legal download on iTunes and ReverbNation.
I'm also pleased to report that I will be playing in Pennsylvania with
my solo band, The Galactic Collective, at the Rites of Spring Festival,
aka ROSFest, on Saturday, May 21, 2011 (you can't say I didn't give you enough advance notice ;-). And as I mentioned last time,
please come see me on my Facebook
page. The latest news always seems to show up there first. And if you
want to get in touch, you can write to me there on
Facebook or simply email thethinker (at) thetank (dot) com anytime. Best wishes, |
| Rocket Scientists complete studio works now on iTunes !!! Remasters of the first 3 albums + Looking Backward: The 2007 Sessions are UP! I am delighted to announce that we finally have the complete Rocket Scientists studio catalog up on Apple iTunes and ReverbNation for your legal downloading pleasure! The Revolution Road and original (pre-remastered) version of Oblivion Days have both been available on iTunes for a while, but the the first two albums, Earthbound and Brutal Architecture, have never been available on iTunes ... until now! And of course, we have provided the remastered versions of these albums with all their bonus tracks from the 2007 Looking Backward box set. Even the original version of Oblivion Days has been replaced with the 2007 remastered version.

| Remodeling at The Tank continues We have continued our renovation project at www.thetank.com. Since the last newsletter, we have updated all of the album pages for Rocket Scientists, and we've begun updating the Lana Lane album pages with the few most recent albums already complete. We have ReverbNation mp3 players for every updated album page where you can hear every song in its entirety. Please stop by and have a look at what we're doing there. And our new pricing for the back catalog titles will continue to help you fill any gaps in your Erik Norlander, Lana Lane and Rocket Scientists collection without breaking the bank. For the catalog titles, single CDs are $8.99, double CDs and DVDs are $11.99. Imports excluded but still discounted where possible. The behemoth Rocket Scientists - Looking Backward box set has been discounted as well. |

| Lana Lane CD Editions Update We have sold out of the last 2CD "thick case" Euro version of the Curious Goods Special Edition. The only remaining title in this Euro series is Lana's debut, the Love is an Illusion Special Edition. We have this one offered at the special price of $9.99. If you want to complete your collection of these 2CD thick case Euro editions, please act fast as our supply is really limited. We also have some limited stock remaining of the Covers Collection Euro Digipak also priced at $9.99. There is also a very special price of $6.99 for the Brazilian version of Project Shangri-La which is identical to the much more expensive Japanese version. Same tracks, same booklet (everything except the Obi band, of course). Please visit the Think Tank Media web shop to find these and all of our titles. -- Erik |

| Downloand Free Bonus Tracks No purchase required. Just enter your email address on Erik's page at ReverbNation to receive download links to several FREE bonus tracks. Currently there are 5 available: "Garden of the Moon - Long Version", from The Galactic Collective, and then 4 tracks from Live in St. Petersburg that appear on the DVD but not on the included CD (due to space limitations of the CD medium). Note that you will not receive any additional email -- only the light pestering of this same newsletter, The Passing Parade, which is published just a few times per year. |
