An advance single will be coming out in November 2000. First reactions of the few people who had the chance to listen to some excerpts make us expect, that it's gonna be something beyond the scope of many albums comparable that have been done before, something really big... Or as ex-Magnum singer Bob Catley, whom Tobi is friends with, said after he heard some of the stuff: "This is not a project, it's a fuckin' epic..." We'll keep you informed about it.
