At some point during 2008, Rupert Gillett was approached by Christian Malescov to compose a number of pieces for rock group and symphony orchestra.  The music was then finally performed on the 30th August 2009 in Schloss Rheydt, as part of the 50th birthday celebrations of the Musikschule Mönchengladbach.

During the Autumn months of 2009, it was decided to attempt to capture the music on record.  During one mamouth session, orchestra, drums, bass and lead guitar were recorded live in the "Carl-Orff-Saal".  Vocals, keyboards, accoustic guitars and other rhythm guitars were then recorded in several overdub sessions between August and November.  Weeks and weeks of editing/mixing/mastering followed, and the CD was finally ready for release just before Christmas 2009.
