TIMO TOLKKI: Revolution Renaissance member changes and other news

TIMO TOLKKI has issued the following update on his official myspace page at www.myspace.com/timotolkkiofficial

"Revolution Renaissance has signed 3 album deal with Napalm Records. With their strong promotional capabilities and a separate office in the USA, the band is expecting to get much better exposure than with "Age of Aquarius" album and also finally do touring.

On a sadder note the band has also bad news for you. They have parted ways with the bass player Justin Biggs and the keyboard player Michael Khalilov.

During the recordings of "Age of Aquarius" it became evident to everybody that RR was not the right band for the guys. Justin is more of a trash guy and Mike expected the music to be something totally different.
Out of these reasons the decision has been made that it is better to go seprate ways. Both are great guys and the remaining members Timo Tolkki, Gus Monsanto and Bruno Agra wish them well and best of luck on their musical endeavours. Check out the new album of Mike's band Empyreon from iTunes and Justin's band Descend.
The remaining members have been writing songs for many months now and you can expect the follow up to "Age of Aquarius" sometime next year.

Some people have wondered the disappearence of Timo Tolkki's myspace pages some months ago including the "Return to Dreamspace" project. For legal reasons the Dreamspace project page had to be taken down and the name Timo Tolkki intended to use with the release cannot be used with the project.

Timo Tolkki's personal Myspace was hacked and filled with obscenities. Somebody did this to harm Tolkki and his projects. You can still see a toned down version in the same address :http://www.myspace.com/ttolkki. Also after the Dreamspace page was taken down, most likely the same person took the same url and created another page to ridicule the project. This page is also still there: http://www.myspace.com/projectstrato.

The band is signed to JVC and Scarlet records and due to the massive difficulties with the problems of SPV GmbH (the DIstributor for Scarlet) and also because the band really wants to make a killer record, the release date has been postponed until next spring. The songs however are ready and the album will be called "Return to Dreamspace" nevertheless. Some songtitles include "Return to Dreamspace", "Digital Jesus", "Santiago", " Chevaliers De Sangreal", "Full Circle" and "Farewell No. 2" among other things. 20 songs have been written for the project, but its new name has not been decided."
