June 15 2007: I'm extremely proud to have a little part on Phideaux's new art rock album Doomsday Afternoon... I dusted off the flute and played on the third track "Candybrain". After discovering his music on MySpace, I met Phideaux in L.A. while I was there during the 2007 NAMM show. I think his music is perhaps the most compelling and exciting new art/progressive rock around these days. It's quite a thrill to be in personal contact with a musical hero of yours, never mind get to play on one of his albums! And this latest one is quite brilliant... it was rated by reviewers as the top album of 2007 on ProgArchives and other progressive rock sites as well.
