Due for Spring 2012 release, said to include unreleased FZ material. I'm excited about this one...and the strong possibility of a live show to promote.

Website is underworks but ya get a killer Drowning Witch teaser.

The site is now up and running, and reveals that the works left unperformed at the time of Frank's death that the Ensemble will premiere in its 2012-13 season are Numbers 6-9...of course, we already have #s 6 & 7 (http://globalia.net/donlope/fz/songs/Number_7.html)
