Found the His Witness thread Gary started. I missed it because I was on vacation. How cool to listen to some His Witness songs.
I wonder when RetroActive finally will release this album.
Bill Menchen is very busy to release previous stuff of Titanic.

With the His Witness album, my wanted list is one CD longer.

I'll definitely try to get the His Witness and Menchen releases. If there aren't much else coming out then, I might get the Final Axe and Titanic ones too as I love those projects but felt that better drums would have helped them a lot.

I haven't giving up the hope the His Witness releases will ever come.
Will message the band about this very cool album.

Menchen sounds cool too, now I hope Bill will add some more samples to the Menchen MySpace page.

I've already got my hands on a copy of the super cool new 7th Power album, but I need to add the rest of this stuff to my coolection.

I was really impressed with that Menchen track on their myspace site.

I never have listened to Barnabas and will try to find samples to check 'm out.

They are a female fronted hard rock band. If you send me a p.m. to remind me I can e-mail you some mp3s to check out.

I have the original reissues that Retroactive did of Barnabas.


I am looking forward to hearing the His Witness disc. I ordered one from Amazon.com yesterday. Now, I'm holding off on ordering anything else until X-Sinner is available.

I don't get the Barnabas reissues....again. They just re-released them a couple of years ago. Also, the Titanic albums...they're not that hard to find, and they're not that old. I wish they'd focus on more hard-to-get stuff like Crystavox.

Listened to the Barnabas MP3's Gary e-mailed me and I have to tell Barnabas sounds cool.
This time I don't have problems with the female voice.
No, no don't misunderstood me but I don't like all female vocals.

Agreed. It almost seems like a stop-gap kind of thing. They did it with the Daniel band as well.

[glad you liked the Barnabas tunes sis ]

Follower Of Jesus I agree with you, I have the Titanic stuff and would be more interested in some old bands who only released their albums on CD.
Or rare bands like A.N.D., Armor and there are more bands to mention.

Maybe we have to contact Retroactive and tell about our ideas?

[ Yes I liked the Barnabas stuff bro ]

The His Witness CD is definitely out. I got it in the mail today.

Now I am confused.
Checked out all online stores who sell the Retroactive releases and saw only on Soundmass has His Witness in the new additions.
I don't dare to ask more now, I feel silly.

Could Retroactive do a worse job publicizing their releases? At least send out a myspace bulletin or something.

Yvonne, check with Amazon.com. They ship worldwide. If not, CD Baby will have it in stock in a week or so.

You, my friend, are absolutely right! If we did not get curious and check out their MySpace page, we'd know nothing at all until Radrockers or other places had them in stock. They could at least do some bulletins.

That's a good idea that retroactive send out a MySpace bulletin to make a newletter with Retroactive news.
In my opinion Retroactive is not very active with news about new releases or other interesting Retroactive news.

His Witness is now availible at CD Baby.
