mainman Andy Tillison has announced he is working on new companion album to this year's album, which will see him re-work material from his pre-Tangent band Parallel Or 90 Degrees, in a project entitled Po90 41. "The Po90 41 project (a new set of recordings based on the first three albums by Po90) is going well and being mapped out," Tillison says.

Some songs are, others are definitely not, and others would require careful thought and permission." Tillison intends to release a limited edition CD in a simple digipack, and the project also release it on Bandcamp.

There will also be a "Names On The Sleeve" megafan pack, which gets your name on the CD sleeve, as well as a "Pay The Wages" pack, which reserves you a CD. Both of which will include an almost immediate download of the demo version of the as yet incomplete .
Both the above options allow access to the songs in demo form as and when they are made available. A "Friends And Family" option is simply a copy of the CD which like all the others will be signed by Tillison. "The album will be released when it is released," adds Tillison.
