“Return Receipt” by John Battema
The long pause!!!

WORDS

"...it does not sound like a potato."

"I thoroughly enjoyed this album from the outset, with its mixture of heavy drama and quieter reflective moments, and it’s an easy listen. Plenty of melody, rhythm and moods to keep you interested all the way through, but never pretentious or heavy going." Moments in Transition

"Wow! Fantastic instrumental horror prog strongly inspired by bands like Goblin and Morte Macabre. The album is very melodic with a creepy and cinematic atmosphere." 

"This is one of the most pleasing bodies of art rock to pass this way for a long time, and will doubtlessly feature on a majority of the "Best-of-2010" lists. And it just might require a crow bar to get it out of the CD player." Sea of Tranquility

"Harvest Aorta is a complete success..." Cangamers.com

"Ephemeral Sun should be applauded for this ambitious venture..." Dutch Progressive Rock Page

"Epic Is One Word, Showing Off Is Two." Don't Count On It"

"Once I put the album on I knew I had found a band that really knows how to create some atmosphere with their music..." Metal Reviews
