At long last, the blockbuster new Ganymede album is almost
complete. The band is working on finishing touches
for the 10-track album through late summer and early fall. Expect a
new

contributed lyrics and vocals to a track on the new Synthetik
FM album,

Finally ... some news from Ganymede. "Love Is Not the
End" is the title of the first song completed from the upcoming
new album, Operation
Ganymede. You can hear the track exclusively by visiting Ganymede's
new page on
MySpace. It's an epic, downtempo "sleaze" ballad
and we think you're going to like it. Be sure to add Ganymede as
your friend!
Next, Ganymede
is releasing a set of three free "Neon Rain" ringtones as a holiday
present to our current and future fans. These three tones have
been mixed straight from the original "Neon Rain" multi-track
recording. They can be downloaded from this site as 128K MP3
files and then transferred to and played on any phone that supports
MP3 ringtones.
And last but
not least, Ganymede is playing a show in February in New York
that will see the debut of several songs from the new album and
even a Fr/action track or two. We hope to see you at the show...
