The Reverse Engineers on iTunes
A lot of folks have asked us when our music would be available on iTunes… well, it’s finally available! So the next time you’re adding to your playlist, type in "The Reverse Engineers" and add a few of our songs.

New CDs for you. Studio time for us.
Our drummer, Dan, has been hard at work building a new website, www.newmusictracker.com . It’s a handy site that compiles information on new CDs as they are released. (Fans of The Reverse Engineers should definitely check out Porcupine Tree’s new release.) Not only is it a great way to keep your CD collection current, but a portion of every Amazon sale that it generates will go into a fund to help us record our next CD. So bookmark the site, and the next time you need a CD, DVD, book, or anything Amazon carries, use the Amazon search tool at www.newmusictracker.com. You’ll get cool stuff, and you’ll help us get back to the studio.

Mercury in Retrograde Video
A few weeks ago, we booked time at a big TV studio, and video taped the band playing Mercury in Retrograde against a blue screen. Felt like we should be having light sabre duels… It’ll be fun to see what happens once we drop in the 60’s-era space footage behind it. Here’s a picture of Charles at the shoot:

Which reminds me, Chuck has received a bunch of fan mail for his playing… here’s a sample: "I’ve been a big RUSH fan since I was 15 or so… and one thing I’ve missed for a long time with Rush is the sound Geddy used to get with his Rickenbackers; I must say Charles your sound, while being uniquely your own, rekindles many old sonic memories." — D. Berger

Thanks, Dave! Any comparison to Rush is a huge compliment…

That’s all for now. Catch you later.
