In 2002, we released our first album, Turn On the Bright Lights. We had waited close to five years for the opportunity to record an album. Needless to say this was a memorable moment for us. We never had any expectations for how the album would be received. We just wanted to present our music as an album to anyone who would be open to hearing it. It was incredible to finally tour and see people react to these songs. We never could have imagined that the album would have reached so many people throughout the world.
We spent a good deal of time this past year digging through our archives and asking others to dig through theirs in the hopes of uncovering some forgotten material. The result of our hunting and gathering has yielded this Tenth Anniversary Edition of Turn On the Bright Lights. We wanted to do something special for the fans who have always supported us. We wanted to do something special for the best fans in the world. We hope you enjoy it.

"Weloveyouwinona" is a new, but already sensational band from Moscow. Band leader, vocalist Ivan Malezhik, son of the honored artist of Russia Vyacheslav Malezhik, unlike his father sings songs in English only. According to many, a group is distinguished by unusual for russian artists authentic "foreign" manner of performance combined with a very bright and powerful portrayal on the scene. Guys do not hide their ambitions and openly talk about their orientations to the west. The Band has already made one video, and is ready to shoot next, and soon to release a new single. The plans of the team record a full album in the U.S. http://weloveyouwinona.com/ http://www.facebook.com/weloveyouwinona
Stephen Burch is an English songwriter currently based in Germany. He began making music whilst living on a remote farm in rural Ireland - using acoustic guitars, the family's piano, brooms and chains. His lyrical, narrative songs bear the influence of the fields of County Cork and the old streets of Berlin. Images of persecution abound, songs of urgent travel and a search for home - the unifying theme is that of grave drama within 'The Great Park'. Stephen has played over 150 concerts each year for the past several years - touring Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Denmark and the UK. He has released over 12 albums on the DIY label Woodland Recordings, a compilation through the German label Timezone, has provided music for several films and his songs have been covered on releases by Liz Green, The Sons of Noel And Adrian, Thirty Pounds of Bone and others. He likes rooms with echo, train journeys, trams and girls on bicycles. http://www.thegreatpark.co.uk/ http://thegreatpark.tumblr.com/ http://twitter.com/thegreatpark www.facebook.com/thegreatpark

NEUMAN is a post-rock band from Murcia, Spain known for its pianos, guitars and vocals that merge into a single instrument with a very strong emotional and impressionistic component..
With a touch of melancholy, their extended melodies always acquired more weight than the voice. The voice, warm and sensitive runs through a frame of emotions that are transmitted by a descriptive language that moves you on every note, every minute
Everything started back in 1998 when the band leader, Paco Roman, after leaving La Fabrica de la Luz, spent all his time recording over 150 songs at the studio. In December 2010 he meets Fernando Lillo (pianist), and they begin to give shape to his compositions. The final form of Neuman get outlined with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Raul Frutos. The three together have released two studio albums: Plastic Heaven (2010) and The Family Plot (2012)
Their music has been included in a tv spot and as Sound Track on the short film Esquizofrenia. They compose, record and film their music and own videos.
