Frogtoon Music Album Info: Down To The Moon

"Our Group Was Very Tight Together After Several World Tours. Many Elements Of This Album Had Already Been 'tested' In Our Performances. As We Went Into The Studio In Between Live Shows Some Of That Energy Found Its Way To The Album. At The Same Time It Also Signaled A Temporary Farewell. After Extensively Touring The U.S. Japan And Australia We Took A Long Creative Break To Nurture Our Motivations And Unbroken Explorer's Spirits."
