The sheerdestruction and loss of human life was of a scale that shook the world.We considered what the Progressive Rock community could do, even in a smallway, to help alleviate some of the suffering endured, and help towards therebuilding of lives and communities.We have therefore decided to co-ordinate the recording of a CD single tohelp raise as much money as possible for those that need it. The song,titled 'All Around The World', will be recorded on the 29th and 30thJanuary 2005, and since the decision was made, we have been overwhelmed bythe generosity of so many great musicians who have agreed to give theirtime to appear on the single.
