In 2006 the debut album The Seasons in Between was released (licensed by Wonder Records) on Labels Germany , a sub-label of EMI , on which the most diverse musical styles are combined. Intro magazine described the music as an attempt to bring Prince , Faith No More and Peter Gabriel together; the Internet magazine laut.de pulled Tom Waits , Giant Sand and David Bowie approach for comparison, but curtailed that as many styles inspire in the music that compare to going long.
