History
Somewhere around autumn 2003 Howard Hanks, Dennis Grasekamp and Udo Grasekamp, all members of the band Taste Of Timeless decided, they had to do something about the "Pink Floyd-less times". As they were all big fans of the floydian music, they were all suffering with the lack of new material from this band. Somebody (they don't know who it was anymore) had the brilliant idea during a practicing session to play a floydian theme. Aha, what was that? The idea was born. If Pink Floyd are not prepared to supply their fans with new material, they would make their own.
After two or three tunes were put together they came up with the idea of a concept album. Influenced by the music, it was called "Crying of The Whales". Somehow it seemed the right topic at the time. They did not just copy, they wanted their own music to sound something like Pink Floyd. They had the music and the lyrics and through a fluke coincidence they found the voice in André Bläute, a singer/songwriter from their area. The band finished the last recordings by the end of 2004 and went on the lookout for a label. The British prog rock label Cyclops were impressed and interested in the project.
