A message from Tom Hartman of The Aerovons!
Thanks to Raphael and to CD Times for this glowing review of The Aerovons album. This kind of praise is very humbling.
It is a great relief to see our efforts from years back finally released, and an absolute honor to have people respond to it so enthusiastically.
I think most people begin their creative careers by emulating, as Brian Wilson did at first, basically put a rock beat to the Four Freshman sound. He obviously took that quite a bit further as time went on.
I would hope The Aerovons would have gone on to somewhat different things had they continued, but in reality, knowing myself, The Beatles genre influence would have always been a part of my music. Today,the music of groups like Fountains of Wayne, Oasis, Train, and many others show that The Beatles influence is indeed timeless.
Thanks to RPM for letting it out of the closet and for the super package design. Hopefully, there may be more to come.

Again, thanks for a perceptive and warm review!
