Notes: After original singer Reindert-Jan Somers left due to internal frictions, plus the departure of keyboardist Sander Geerdink, the band needed time to replace the ex-0members and to find it’s new shape. After a short stint with Brendan Troost of ‘Sincere’, they found their new frontman in Raymond van Kooten (‘New Moon’, ‘Medea’ and ‘Aeolus’) and keyboardist Koen van Amerongen. The sound shifted towards a bit more warmer Southern Rock. This release came as a 12”vinyl album in foldgate sleeve, which included a free CD-copy of the album. As expenses rose higher than expected, they had to drop the insertion of a lyrics sheet. The album was presented with a gig at local club ‘So What’, with a guest-appearance of Danny Lademacher (‘Herman Brood & His Wild Romance’, ‘Paris Dandies’).

Notes: After the first line-up collapsed, singer Reindert-Jan gathered musicians from The Hague scene and started working on new material. Along the process, old guitarist Edwin hooked on, along with the former drummer of ‘A New Dawn’, John. The result is a far more mellow, country-infused album, with some heavy rocking songs. This album gave them more high profile gigs at a.o. ‘Stairway To Heaven’ in Utrecht and airplay on nationwide commercial station ‘Kink FM’. In the years following this release, the liveband re-incorporated drummer Misha Hak.
