Gaia boxset

According to an interview of Txus to Mariskal Rock on the web, the trilogy will be sold in a pack deluxe simply called "Gaia" which contain the 3 albums (Gaia, Gaia II: La Voz Dormida and Gaia III: Atlantia), plus 8 bonus tracks that could not be included in the 3 discs (2 in Gaia for not wanting to do a double disc, 3 with Gaia II: La Voz Dormida because BigSimon said it was too much and 3 for Gaia III: Atlantia for lack of time). So enjoy this year's total of 24 new songs.

Anticipated 2010 tour

The name of the tour will be "Agaiate Que Vienen Curvas Tour 2010" and will focus only on Gaia III: Atlantia. For next year, he foresees a new tour focused on the entire trilogy. Furthermore, according to Txus statement, after Gaia III: Atlantia, the band will take a break from work. Which, he noted the same Txus, does not mean that the group will break up or anything like that. Only Gaia III: Atlantia is the closure of a long period of the band, so a break will be given indefinitely. Maybe they will return with an album much easier and simpler than the Gaia trilogy. In addition, you may not follow the line of a concept album or novel. The band will try some rawer songs, without following the pattern of a story.
