DEAR FRIENDS,

ANOTHER YEAR DRAWS TO A CLOSE. THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS UPON US. A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO THANK ALL THOSE WHO MADE THIS YEAR A SPECIAL ONE FOR ME AND BEYOND THE FIELDS.

A BIG THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO CAME TO SEE US, TO ALL THOSE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO WRITE US, AND TO ALL THOSE WHO GRACIOUSLY LENT US THEIR MUSICAL TALENTS.

IT WAS A SPECIAL YEAR INDEED. WE WORKED WITH THREE DIFFERENT DRUMMERS, THREE DIFFERENT BASS PLAYERS, AND WE NEVER DID MORE THAN TWO SHOWS WITH THE SAME LINE-UP. COMING TO SEE US IN 2007 REALLY WAS LIKE THAT PROVERBIAL BOX OF CHOCOLATES, YOU NEVER KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GOING TO GET. IT WAS SPECIAL EVERY NIGHT, DIFFERENT EVERY NIGHT, AND ALL THE MORE FUN BECAUSE OF IT.

OUR RIDICULOUSLY OVERDUE NEW CD WILL REMAIN RIDICULOUSLY OVERDUE FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER, I'M AFRAID. THE ONLY NEW CD CONTAINING MUSIC BY BEYOND THE FIELDS IS "ACOUSTIKA VOL. 5", A COMPILATION RELEASED BY HOLLYWOOD-BASED LABEL 272 RECORDS. NO NEED TO GO OUT AND BUY IT, THOUGH, AT LEAST NOT BECAUSE OF OUR CONTRIBUTION. IT JUST CONTAINS THE ACOUSTIC LIVE RECORDING OF THE ARTIST'S SONG, THE ONE FROM THE LION.

SPEAKING OF ACOUSTIC RECORDINGS, HERE'S THIS YEAR'S TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM US. THE CANTERBURY TALES PART III: ALIVE AGAIN, RECORDED AT THE LION IN WINTER 2005. HOPE YOU LIKE IT.

MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE IN 2008 . . . AND SOME MORE . . .

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND
A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!

ANDRE
