Before you continue reading, please open this and then that in the background for the proper sound-scape. Believe me, we need to be in the mood for this. Got it? Great. You should feel like you need a good glas of whiskey now. Maybe a good cigar as well. Thats what we need.

There are times when a gentlemen needs to admit that he cannot continue as he did. That his pursuit is pointless, that any more haste would just lead to disaster. I am talking about the bittersweet moment when a man needs to look at his limitations. We at Straftanz had to. This is one of these nights to reconsider. One of these nights when we wish to forget, but can’t.

Our aim was to get our second album done until March the 23rd, before our crew needs to divide for several weeks to return to other duty. From the beginning it was not meant to be a release deadline, but more an internal one, to keep us on track. Since Monday we felt that goal we set to be in jeopardy and since tonight we know, that we can not achieve the production we want for us and more important, the production you deserve, until that given date. We decided to delay and to use this time to review our concept, to give some more touches to things we considered to be done. We do not desire to get that Album just done. We want it to be surprising, splendid, amazing and most spiffing. When the melancholy of this night has turned into the bright and colorful headache of tomorrow we will be ready. And we will still be good for a surprise.
