Reviews: Rare and collectable Ep targeted at radio stations during the bands tour with Opeth. You can still find these on eBay every once in a blue moon, but be prepared to be paying around a ton for it. All the material can more or less be found on numerous other releases one way or another, except for the best track Orchidia which is an out take from the Lightbulb Sun sessions. Why ever they didn't use it remains a mystery; maybe it was too loud and aggressive? In any event is is a superb space rock number which should be blasted out at full volume. A nice promo EP to own with super cover art, which has money written all over it should the band ever reissue it.
