        I am interested in the Josiah thing, although I had heard that
they had an album out some time ago. The last place I heard of this,
though, was practically on topic. I don't know if anyone but me has gone
to look at <http://www.delerium.co.uk> recently, but in its static state
it is pluggi a new label called Molten Records who are currently boasting
On Trial and, you guessed it, Josiah. Because it's mentioned there I'm
wondering if Richard Allen is behind this? Yours,
                                                  Jon
