180 g Coloured Vinyl + CD

.

Spring Tidings is generally considered one of our best albums and is certainly a favourite of the band. Its sound, however,  does  not  quite 

live up to the standards we have now. So the idea of remixing the album had been nagging for quite a while. When  we  finally  decided  to 

give it a try, it turned out to be much more difficult than expected: drum tracks had to be transferred from technology no longer available,

keyboard tracks couldn‘t be rescued at all and had to be rerecorded.

The restrictions of the LP-format to the length of an album set up a further challenge: Spring Tidings is too  long  for a  single  album,  too

short for a double. So we asked ourselves in what way we would have released the album in the golden days of the vinyl-LP.  The  result  is

a shortened and differently sequenced album. If you like, a reimagination of Spring Tidings for the age of vinyl.

Yet, everybody who prefers the original playlist, gets that as well: the remixed CD-version is also included in this set. We  hope  you  enjoy

the rediscovery of Spring Tidings as much as we do.
