Bram Stoker's 2013 highly praised, Classic Prog album 'Cold Reading' now Remastered, is available on Bandcamp as a Ltd edition CD & digital download from 31st October 2026 – Two-week preorder special starts Friday 16th of October.
Backstory from Tony Lowe – Producer, co-composer, and multi-instrumentalist on Bram Stoker’s 2013 - ‘Cold Reading’:
“In the Early days of 1971, I was in a basement on Fulham Palace Rd playing bass on ‘21st Century Schizoid Man’ with Robert Fripp, Mel Collins and Ian Wallace at my second audition for King Crimson. It was unlikely that I would get the job at only 17 years old and with no previous touring experience. Three weeks later I was asked to join ‘Bram Stoker’, a keyboard led Prog Rock band with Tony Bronsdon on Hammond Organ. Tony’s amazing ability on a Keyboard immediately pulled me in and I loved the crossover between Rock and Classical music. We played the Clubs, Colleges and Universities in England and Holland during most of 1971 before breaking up.
Fast forward 40 years to 2011 and I met with Tony Bronsdon over Dinner in Dorset to discuss reforming Bram Stoker with a new line up. There would also be a new album featuring some of the original material plus 8 new songs. I recruited the talented Will Hack on Lyrics and Vocals and spent the rest of the year producing ‘Cold Reading’, a ten-track album, with Tony Bronsdon on Keyboards and backing vocals, myself on Guitar, Bass, Keyboards and Drum programs and Will Hack on Vocals and Lyrics. Released in 2013 with over 22 rave reviews across England and Europe.” @tony_lowe @ESPProgProject @sunncreative #bramstoker #progressiverock #prog

Venus passes between Earth and the Sun 5 times every 8 years, and those 5 points trace a near-perfect pentagram.
8 Earth years ≈ 13 Venus years. 5, 8, 13: consecutive Fibonacci numbers.
The pentagram is built on the golden ratio. The Maya tracked this cycle in the Dresden Codex.
The planet of beauty draws the proportion of beauty.

#Hecate, Queen of Witches, Goddess of the Crossroads, is closely associated with her sacred dogs which herald her arrival at the crossroads by barking or howling.
They are depicted as black, and belonging to the Ancient Greek #Molossus breed.
The dogs are symbols of loyalty and protecters for those traveling at night or those seeking guidance in liminal spaces.

A great way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting.

CITIZEN KANE (1941) gave cinema one of its most jaw-dropping tracking shots, gliding through space with a fluidity that still feels astonishing 85 years later. Technology has evolved beyond recognition, but the sheer ingenuity of this shot remains untouchable.
