Ron Jarzombek (Guitarist of Watchtower, Spastic Ink, Blotted Science) has issued the following update:

"The latest news is:

1. Blotted Science - 'The Machinations of Dementia' has been out for roughtly a month now. The CD is available directly through this website as well as various online distributors (see www.myspace.com/blottedscience for a hyperlinked list of vendors) and also just got added to iTunes (along with both Spastic Ink discs and 'Solitarily Thinking of Theoretical Confinement') and other digital providers. Many thanks to everyone who has picked up a copy and all the VERY positive feedback we've received on it so far. It's great to know that all the hard work that we put into writing and recording this album is being appreciated.

2. Several months ago, I did a bit of touring with Marty Friedman in Europe and Japan. The shows were recorded and filmed and have since been released by Avex Entertainment in Japan as "Exhibit A: Live in Europe" (CD) and "Exhibit B: Live in Japan" (DVD), respectively. I'd like to thank Marty for asking me again to help him get his solo material out there as well as Chris Catero and Jeremy Colson for kicking ass and the good times on the road. I hope we can do it again sometime! Special thanks go out to the folks at Avex and everyone involved for coordinating everything and putting on a first class operation in Japan.

3. I'm now getting back to my instructional guitar DVD, and it's looking like it will be on 2 separate DVDs. After releasing Blotted Science, I realized that there were too many examples and concepts that fit together and there needed to be a two-part release to cover everything. I'm looking at doing two 2-hour videos with playing examples, theoretical concepts, and animated explanations, featuring songs and excerpts from both Spastic Ink CDs, both my solo albums, and the just released 'The Machinations of Dementia' CD.

Thanks!
Ron "
