Name：Watching in Silence Catalog:Music Release:22 July, 2003 Manufacturer:Afm Records SalesRank:43226 Usually ships in 24 hours I stumbled across this album purely on accident and I am glad that I did. I am a longtime fan of SAVATAGE and while on their website, I found out about CIRCLE II CIRCLE. I have always been a fan of Zak Stevens since I first heard him on EDGE OF THORNS. I consider him to be one of the best vocalists in the world of metal and although I like Jon Oliva and was happy for his return to fronting SAVATAGE, I missed Zak`s presence. This album does have that SAVATAGE feel to it but I wont take anything from it for that. If you dug EDGE OF THORNS, and HANDFULL OF RAIN then you will dig this. In fact I like this better than the last couple of releases that SAVATAGE has put out ( hopefully their next release wont be yet another concept album). Now dont get me wrong, I am not in any way putting down SAVATAGE. I own their entire collection and I love all their albums but I also love the two CIRCLE II CIRCLE albums as well. Highlights include the title cut WATCHING IN SILENCE, LIES, FO! RGIVEN, FIELDS OF SORROW, and my personal fave; WALLS. I feel that even with the many comparisons to SAVATAGE, this band is carving out their own identity and may one day become a major player in the metal world. This is good stuff here and I recommend this to anyone looking for good music. The Metal Historian hath spoken and approves. CustomerReview by amazon

Thatching , North Devon, England, Oxfordshire, England Thatching is the art or craft of covering a roof with vegetative materials such as straw, reed (plant)|reed or sedge. Thatch is one of the oldest roofing materials and has been used by traditional builders on every continent except Antarctica. It offers excellent insulation value (generally R40) at little or no cost for materials and is relatively easy to repair. Thatch has fallen out of favor in much of the industrialized world due to its relative flammability and the lack of skilled thatchers. New flame retardants make thatch more competitive with modern materials but insurance companies and municipal building inspectors often discourage its use. England, which is currently undergoing a revival in thatching, has at least 30,000 thatched buildings and is widely regarded as having some of the best examples of the art.A roof thatched with water reed (a more durable and water-resistant material than straw) will last approximately 70 years with very little maintenance. When a t! hatch roof is in need of repair a new layer is often placed over the old. On old buildings up to four feet of thatch can accumulate. quote Wikipedia - Article - History - License:GFDL
