The debut album Visions was released in 1994. In 1995 the single Save Me , which climbed into the German and Austrian Top 25, was the trio's only chart hit . After further single releases, the separation followed in 1996. Thomas Detert and Mike Griesheimer had chart successes from 1997 as 666 and from 2005 as Vinylshakerz .
