During 1999 the band released its first album 'Milennium' in celebration of the new forthcoming millennium.

For quite some time over the previous years my IT and engineering skills had developed consideraby and I had put together a small recording facility at home.
I now had MIDI expertise which meant that my guitar and other electronic musical instruments could be linked to and controlled by computers and computer software.

I had bought a Roland GR50 Guitar synthesizer unit which enabled me to work with synthesized sounds - brass, strings, drums etc, live on stage. This new technology which I had learned also enabled me to produce fantastic sounding orchestrations on my own and also to print out the musical score for each instrument.

I also added a vocal harmonizer to the stage rig and linked this into the MIDI systems allowing me to sing 5 part harmonies with the chord data being read from the guitar fretboard.
