A Personal Note from Paradox:

" In these turbulant times of man made destruction, war and right wing politics an event occurs that shows us how fragile the human race is against the forces of nature, how defenceless we are when this planet displays it's dectructive power. The world needs to come together and show it's compassion to the loss and the suffering, we are all human, breathe the same air, we
are all together here in this crazy world, even though there has always been so much red tape and hatred between so many nations. No-one is immortal, we are all struggling here, now is the time to give and do what we can here in the Western World to help the many affected by this tragedy. We {Paradox} are donating all of our sales thru
CDBaby.com for all of our albums to the Red Cross. So as well as having our music in your possesion you will also be doing your part to help this noble cause by purchasing any or all of our albums. Please, Please find it in you hearts to buy a CD and if you decide not to, then please make a donation directly through Musicforrelief.org. Thank you for reading this."
