After Crying on themselves:
The aim of this creative community has ever been to compose contemporary, up-to-date classical music that many people can understand – since it uses elements of today’s everyday musical idiom; and at the same time is able to convey deep meaning at a high artistic level, dealing with serious issues of our time. A kind of "up-to-date classical music"... On the stage, their regular instrumentarium ranges from classic-acoustic instruments (cello, trumpet, piano, flute) to the standard setup of a modern rock band. From time to time they play shows with a chamber or symphony orchestra. On their studio-albums countless variations of classical and modern compositional methods and instrumentation appear, from acoustic chamber lineup to 21st century symphonic and electronic sounds.

From record label:
"VI. progressive.
The 74-minute-album released in 1997 was offered to the Twentieth Century. The album forms opinion, bids farewell and presents all the beauties and cruelties of our contradictory age.

Different from their former albums, not modern musical elements used in classical forms but classical elements are integrated into the world of modern music.

It is a marvelous, monumental, colourful album as the twentieth century itself."
