Not just a simple album but an one hour lasting emotional journey, which involves and shows you the various facets of a less than ordinary artist and his music. From pop to rock, through modern disco music ("Run" and "The Beauty Of It"), sweet ballads ("You Can't Fall Down"), awesome instrumental tracks ("Reprise" and "Save Your Life") and songs with a hit potential ("Shine").
All accompanied by captivating lyrics, which describe strong feelings and characters, in an atmosphere between dream and hard reality.
This album was recorded at Hinkelstone-Studio near the wonderful Black
Forest in Germany.
It rather took a long time from the first session to the final release!
