A note from Ken Hensley:
"Hi Everyone,
Dani has just returned from 2 weeks of physiotherapy in Barcelona and is making very good progress now. We will master Love & Other Mysteries early next week (January 3rd & 4th) and then it will go to the factory. I am optimistic that we will be able to start shipping in early February.
Thank you all for your good wishes to Dani and for your patience.
God bless,
Ken

A message from Ken Hensley with an update on "Love... And Other Mysteries":
Hi Everyone,
I have good news regarding Love & Other Mysteries...
First, Dani is recovering well and is now moving around with his crutches and occasionally only one! As you know, his left tibia and fibula are both broken in two places so his total healing time will be a while.
BUT... over the next few weeks, while I am in Russia and Switzerland, he will be able to go to the studio and start work on the master of the CD. Once this is done we can get it to the factory and production will begin and we can set the date for shipping the CDs to you.
Dani has to go to rehab 3 times a week now so the process will be slower than normal but we are finally moving forward.,Thank you all for your patience.,I will keep you all informed.
CheerZ,
Ken |

October 4th 2011 |
The Science Museum in London, UK is currently assembling an exhibition on the history of electronic music, a public history project that involves the collaboration of numerous artists, writers, and technical specialists from outside the museum: http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/visitmuseum/galleries/oramics.aspx.
The exhibition will open now in October, and they're currently looking for images that will illustrate the history of electronica from the 1950s to the present day. These images will form part of our display, accompanying a collection of electronic instruments including the Oramics machine and the VCS3 synthesizer.
Knowing the long and famous association between Ken Hensley and the Moog synthesizer, they want to include some images of him as well, specifically photographs of the Minimoog being played in concert, preferably in the 70s or early 80s. They are needed in fairly high quality, high resolution images because they plan to blow them up significantly for display.
Anyone can help? Please let us know! |

An updatenote from Ken:
"Hi Everyone,
I have good news and not-so-good news today.
Dani is recovering well from his motor-cycle accident, but with the tibia and fibula both broken in two places, he is having to remain static at the moment.
His next appointment with the specialist is on October 19th and they are hoping to be able to remove the pins then or soon after.
At that time we should know when he can travel and then we can plan to master Love & Other Mysteries in London.
Of course this means we will miss the forecast delivery date of October 3rd but, as soon as we know his situation, we will speed everything up as best we can.
Thanks for your patience and I will keep you all informed of course.
Ken

Very special news from Ken:
"Hi Everyone,
Well, thanks to Risto's generosity, work has begun on the rehabilitation of the main stables and now we are clearing the land so the mobile home that will house the farm workers can be installed.
We still need a lot of financial help to complete this so please go to www.esperanzastreet.org and see how you too can help us.
Also, we are looking for volunteers to help us with fun projects on the farm so, if you happen to be in this part of the world, please let us know (kwdh1234@gmail.com) and we'll see if we can put you to work! You will have fun...,
Love,,
Ken & Monica,

A new update from Ken's desk:
"Hi everyone ... first of all I want to thank you all so much for the birthday greetings. i did read them all but I am sorry that I don´t have time to reply to each one personally. There is a lot of stuff happening for the next year or so ... please stay tuned here for the updates.
Sadly... My dear friend, partner, co-producer and engineer Dani Saiz suffered a badly broken leg in a motor cycle accident last Friday. Some Spanish idiot ran a red light and... There you go! He is (understandably) in a lot of pain but it could have been worse and he will get better. This will obviously have an impact on our mastering and manufacturing schedule for Love & Other Mysteries but we are working on that now so please stay close for updates.
Much love,
Ken
