    I’m a huge splashdown fan. I was able to mail CVB records back in the day and get all manner of stuff.

    Wonderful publisher to send me free content. Love those guys.

      I ordered the CDs they had for sale, and they sent me a copy of Blueshift. They were never allowed to formally release it, but they were allowed to give it away!

      Apparently they recorded two new songs a couple years ago. I haven’t listened to them yet. I’m saving it.

        Yeah that’s what they said to me too that they weren’t allowed to sell it some sort of weird thing with the record deal of some contractual bullshit that went wrong. I really would have been willing to pay money for it but it’s really too bad things went South there.

          Yeah, if I recall correctly their label screwed them over and just locked up their album. They wouldn’t release it, and the band couldn’t do anything with it. It’s why they broke up.

          The worst part is that Blueshift is a masterpiece. More than twenty years later, it’s still one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard.

          After they broke up Kasson Crooker went on to be one of the people responsible for Guitar Hero, so that’s kind of cool I guess.
