Armin has finally discovered and engaged the most secret "PROG" button on his trusty KORG 01/W. Only a few artists have ever found it. But Armin can even edit the PROG depth and intensity!!! That really pushed the chorus of the new ballad to the limits.

Now that was a busy weekend: We met again with Tom to work on new songs. Roger was also able to join us and the new song is almost finished by now; we were also able to record a few new ideas. You can find some pictures of the sessions here. We don't know whether the creative atmosphere was due to the incense sticks or Armin's cooking or the Bavarian beer - probably a combination of all three. We have some up-tempo parts now and Carsten can use his new baritone guitar more often. Armin has found a new toy and Jule a new flat.

On our way home we got some good news: in two weeks time our CD "Insight" will be available in an American online shop. Right now 44 CDs (four times eleven;) are en route to Greg Walker, we're very happy that Greg ordered the CDs for his online shop Syn-Phonic.

Please keep your fingers crossed for our festival applications. Playing a summer festival would be the icing on the cake now ...

Happy New Year to everyone! While you're probably waiting for the next Elleven CD, you can spend the time listening to the new CD by Flying Circus, the band of our bass player Roger Weitz (second from front). They are going to publish their new CD "Forth" this month.

You can already listen to some clips at their website. Flying Circus are also celebrating their 20th anniversary! Congrats! On January 16th there will be the anniversary gig and the CD presentation in Grevenbroich. Further information on the gig, advance ticket sales and the CD can be found here. Buy the new CD and enjoy the gig. (©picture: Antje Görnig)
