Hey MN Progger
Pauls decision to leave the band was a personal one that we are all OK with! In fact he is and always will be a big part of the Enchant family! We are all very good friends and support each other on our projects. Paul is very exited about our new CD and is a big fan of Seans! He has been over to rehearsal and has shown big time support for us! That is the kind of person Paul is! amazing! Believe me it was hard! He is one my closest friends so I was sad too at first! but it all worked out!
I won,t speak for him but Paul simply wanted to head in a different direction and do his own thing. He has been at this a long time. We all have many different interests and this is a very difficult thing to continue to do over the years! I took a "Break" no pun intended as well for a few years! Gus did a great job on tour with Enchant when I when I could not be a part of it for a while! He is awesome as well!
There is really no reason to be sad about this because Paul will be around and is happy! And we lucked out getting Sean who is amazing as well! Wait til you hear this new one! I can,t keep it out of my CD player! thats saying a lot for someone in the band who is extra critical about it! We are all really exited about this!
So tell your friend you will most likely hear more from Paul and now get to enjoy Sean as well! Enchant is very much alive and better than ever!
Thanks for checking in Ed
thanx Ed..it helps to know he will be writing music with you guys in the future (Xen), and I am anxious to hear Sean playing on the new album...and seeing all you guys at NF. and btw- its really cool you and some of the other band members hang out and post on here
..I am going to have to post more often on this board in the future . Hey we check in all the time! We appreciate all the feedback and look forward to Nearfest too!
Write anytime! you all make this happen with your support.

in any case she has a cool voice, her voice shines through on a Yes cover part of Yes tribute on the magna carta record label, need to check out her band Renaisance? or however you spell it
I wish I was married to Annie
<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=""> ..lol..but I'd settle for maybe seeing her in conert 1 time..She has the most gentile, kind voice..you should listen to Renaissance. I would recommend d/l some mp3's.."A Trip To The Fair"..."A Song For All Seasons"..."Ocean Gypsy'...hmm many many good songs from them.
if you like Aneke from The Gathering, or Sylvia from White Willow you would likely enjoy Ms.Haslam..her homepage has alot of neat info www.anniehaslam.com/
yes I love her cover versions of "Ripples" (Genesis tribute cd) and "Turn Of The Century" (Yes Tribute) both albums Enchant of course played on..hehe...in fact that is how I 1st heard of Annie from getting those tribute cds.
