Album Release in Progress
October 13th, 2007

Okay, just a little update so that you know we're not dead yet. And haven't forgotten to release the album. Yesterday we were shooting some photo footage for the cover art and Petri will be working on the covers for the next few days. He will leave for London next week, so we thought it would be best to finally go ahead with the CD printing order before that. Stay tuned!

Pirates Are Go
July 10th, 2007

I guess we're officially big stars now: pirate copies of IDAV are for sale in Moscow for 5 euros. »Check it out! (Thanks Andrei) And about the new album... we've been a bit too busy to be able to concentrate on the production recently.

Riverball!
May 29th, 2007

The progress with the album has taken somewhat... interesting turns (check the »studio blog for details). However, a version of one of the songs is now available. As stated in the diary, we have been working on a theme song for a local football team »SC Riverball. We've now delivered a version of the song for them to use at their matches as well as in game highlight videos. Watch a photo/video collage with the song in the background »here.
