A CAST OF THOUSANDS is pleased to announce the Fall 2007 release of a compilation package, tentatively titled “1997-2004: It Seemed Like A Good Idea Then”. The compilation will be available for download on the troupe’s official distributor, The Mad Music Archive.

“It Seemed…” will feature the greatest hits and most popular skits from ACOT, as well as previously released material not featured on any of the CD’s. And, they’re throwing in some raw demos from the early 1990’s that pre-date the “official” launch of the troupe.

Look for “1997-2004: It Seemed Like A Good Idea Then” in October!

Hi folks! It’s been a while since any of us within the group have posted a message, even just to say hello. It goes without saying, we’ve been quite busy in our individual pursuits. And that’s why I want to share with you a “state of the troupe” right now.

Having not actively worked together since we wrapped up the “All Thing Contorted” radio promotional tour in 2004, and with no projects planned in our immediate future, we’re clearly “inactive” at this time.

But I want to be clear - WE HAVE NOT BROKEN UP.

While we have no plans for new releases in the near future beyond the compilation coming out this fall, we have expressed an interest in new work. In fact, Keith & I chatted about this very subject on the phone this week, as he was just getting home from touring Europe with the BPO Chorus, and enjoying a holiday in Colorado to recover. We do desire releasing something new. We can only ask you to be patient.

We promise, we’re not going away just yet

Thank you all for your patience, and for your support over the years.

But until then, in the spirit of Monty Python, piss off!
(But do check out and enjoy our new site, you hear?)

All the best,
Michael
