it really is my friend.

To have listened to (or to have at least an idea of) his previous works,

Thanks for posting this.

For those interested in more: Experimental Ectera posted "Saga of the Outlaws" not too long ago. So you should check that one. The ESP work is of course easy to find on I-tunes.
