I chose the name of the record label because I believe in the humbling perspective that astronomy provokes. It teaches us to respect the mystery and to seek the fragile balance of open mindedness and sceptical thinking that makes science so inherently valuable. Continue Reading »

Album Review - Just in Time - www.herrinmusic.com

“The music has touched my soul with its powerful and emotional vocals as he shares a part of his world, making the listener think a little differently about life. The folorn ‘Another Way’ left me in tears (maybe a little close to home), while ‘Dying of You’ and ‘Just in Time’ really crank it up with their messages of getting on with life. An album of hope and inspiration.“
