(2001) Homegrown II

(2000) Homegrown Stuff

As the title implies, most of these songs were recorded at home, no studio, just in our bedroom, on a Roland VS-840 digital 8-track (which I'm still using, btw). Track 1 was still done at Uwe Reith's, as was "Weak." The guitars for "Cycles" had been recorded in the Munich Studio where most of the material for "Darkness Unleashed" had come from. All the rest is "homegrown stuff" (as was the rest of what followed...)

Tracks:

01.(Millennial) Song Of Freedom (Lyrics)

02.Passion (Lyrics)

03.Dancing In The Sun (Lyrics)

04.Jealousy (Warning: this song contains some strong language!)

05.Nothing At All (Lyrics)
