Ethereal

:: In 2005, TRM vocalist Lynnette Shelley contributed guest vocals on a new album (Beyond Neptune) by New York musician Richard Orlando (of space rock band Alien Planetscapes fame). Due to various logistical delays, the album is now finally being released in April 2007. Shelley performs on the album's opening track, "Mother Earth." The project, titled under the moniker Ethereal, will feature other Alien Planetscapes alumni, as well as members of American space rock groups Quarkspace (Ohio) and Scattered Planets (Philadelphia).

:: Philadelphia musician/producer John Cecil Price, who has performed in experimental, performance art and jazz groups such as Akash, Temple of Bon Matin, The Crime, and the John Price Trio, among others, recently recorded at Turtle Studios with TRM's vocalist Lynnette Shelley. Shelley contributed vocal tracks on the Roxy Music cover "Remake, Remodel" for Price's upcoming solo album, Life Like That. This new album also features the talents of Philly (and beyond) area musicians Doug from Scattered Planets, Ed Wilcox (ex-AKASH, ex-Strapping Field Hands, Temple of Bon Matin, Arthur Doyle), Elliott Levin (of Cecil Taylor, G. Calvin Weston, Bill Laswell, Josh Wink), Charles DuQuesne (from Sugarsmack Daddy, ex AKASH, God Lives Underwater, Dee-Lite & Phil Moore Browne), and many others, and is engineered by DJ Turtle (Ananda).

UPDATE: Apparently, after moving to San Francisco, DJ Turtle lost the vocal tapes of the recording session, and this album collaboration has been on hold ...
