Hey Dustin. Does he actually have a store thats open to the public? I like to fondle the merchandise.
Unfortuantly no... It's pretty much a wholesale/warehouse of sorts, not to mention a working record label. Things can be pretty busy there on ocassion. I know many people in Utah want to head down there and shop their brains out which i'm sure Andreas would love (oh yes, he LOVES when you spend money at the End!), but if every metal head in Utah made that common practice it would cause major chaos in their daily funtions. I've known Andreas & Tomer through Deron, and meet them at ProgPower last year and they invited me down to check the place out, and I make a stop in there every 2-3 weeks to say "hi", buy and see if they've been moving any "Present Day" albums.
I think Andreas has had ideas of opening a retail outlet to compliment the End Records here, but I don't think he is going to make Utah his permanant home just yet so we'll have to see what happens in the future. I think once you get to know the guys on a personal basis, it's safe to make a trip out there

How's OSI, Dustin?
To be honest, I wasn't that impressed with it a first... it sounded like Chroma Key with Jim M. on Guitar, And I'm not a big on Chroma Key (which I find to be an aquired taste). But the more I listen to it, the more I'm digging it! It's slowing starting to open up on me. There is a lot going on in the album, especially if you have the 2 CD digi book, with the 17+ min. track! My only true beef with it is Jim's guitar tone. I wasn't a fan of the "fuzz" tone used on Disconnected, and it seems he's adopted it as his new sound. His rhythm tone reminds me of the Guitar sample we have on our studio keyboard
which can sound a bit phony.
it's not that edgy tone Jim had that I've been acustomed too for years. Although, his leads are AMAZAING as usual! lots of feel!
to sum it up, I definatly see this being one of my favorites this year for sure, as any album that takes time to grow on me always becomes a classic down the road!
