It has been several years since Merrell Fankhauser released new studio recordings (he has released several compilations and DVDs over the years as well).

See on Scoop.it - Music Reviews
Daymoon is a very different band from anything else out there today. However, it is made up of some talented musicians that don’t conform to the standard pop song formula, and are willing to think outside the box. Fabric Of Space Divine represents this out of the box thinking very well. While many people will probably not enjoy this music, it is very well done.
