Hey all from Berlin where I am working on a project with...well, let's leave that for another day. Today's news is that the Atlantæum Flood album 'One Day' is now available for pre-order on vinyl and CD on the Schoolkids Records website. It's the first time I have been involved in a purely instrumental album that wasn't a jam session.
