It seems to me the time is right for such an endevour(sp?) With the popularity
of Independence Day (blockbuster of the summer according to sales figures)
and other Alien abduction/invasion type things, what better time to try
and get more exposure for the last HW release. A knowledgeable manager
would be on top of this situation, and would be out there trying to get
as much media attention as possible. How about a radio edit of one of the
songs from A4? Get some airplay on some of the progressive/rock stations?
A project like a space-rock road show, if properly dealt with could put
HW back in the spotlight, where they deserve to be since they ARE the
absolute best band in this solar system!

I remember back in 73, the Space Ritual tour was being promoted by the
record company, with radio airplay to support it. I first heard Sonic
attack and TWL on the radio, and have ben hooked since. If I recall,
wasn't this the peak of HW's popularity?
