Hyde continues songwriting throughout 2007 and receives a humbling critique by legendary music producer/engineer, Tony Platt (AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Testament, Celtic Frost).
Taking Platt's constructive commentary to mind, Hyde trashes most of the material he had previously written and begins writing new music with a fresh vision in mind.
In the summer of 2007, Cry Pandora receives the 'Most Popular Electronic Artist" award at the London Music Awards (London, Canada)
