Finally! The album that was meant to be out on May 28, 2007 is here. After nearly 2 years of keeping himself away from sounds and using Dr. Wilden's laser treatment method and that way curing the horrible hearing loss and tinnitus situation that occurred in April 2007, Hansi now was able to finalize the work. First year of the treatment the tinnitus and hyperacusis (sensitivity to sounds) stopped him from even listening to music even at low volume. This is how bad it was. During the second year, as the situation continued to improve, he was able to start working again. Initially in very short sequences, 30-40 minutes per session 3 times per week. As time went by, he was able to increase the amount of time and in June this year he was good enough to dare to add the last, yet not recorded, vocal parts (which required the use of headphones). "Initially I kept the volume down so much I could not hear the music while singing - I had to kind of make a guess based on what I heard between what I sang" said Hansi, "But soon I experienced some more improvements so that I felt sure I could have the music a little bit louder. During the last two months I was able to work about 3 hours per day.
The new album can be described as, in a way, a logical continuation of "Secrets" and "Playgrounds" but with a somewhat more careful and slighly more 70's sounding production.
