3. What Releases Can We Find from You?

# Ph. #
We released our first self-titled EP in the beginning of 2005. The four tracks were recorded
live in studio in Belgium. Later in 2005, we recorded in London "Lighten Our Minds" our
second EP. The third record was a unique experience as we were only the two of us (Prck.
And Ph.) with a drum-machine. Still, I believe that "The Lighthouse" is our best recording
so far!
