Length: 43:49min

Notes:
It took us only three months to write the songs for "Exposure". Due to the experiences we gained with the songs of the first record played live, this time we wanted to focus on dynamic and the "live feeling".In order to transfer this idea. we did not record the instruments one after the other how it usually works, but played bass, drums and guitar at once. Vocals and scratches were than added separatly. The whole recording took place in the Dierks Studio in Cologne/Puhlheim( the former studio of the "Scorpions"). The man behind the desk was once again Uwe Sabirowsky, who also produced the first record and who also works as our live sound engineer.
In 1998 "Exposure" was released in the U.S. and Canada on "Victory Records!" parallel to the U.S. Warped Tour.

Notes:
On the "Encore" all tracks of the first record can be found plus 3 Bonustracks :" RedAlert 96"; Aside; I don't wanna hear it" (Minor Theat Coversong feat. Allen and Shane of Headcrash), we started to play that song live on the Headcrash/Thumb European Tour 96 and decided spontaniously to record it in the studio. Furthermore you can find quite a few live versions of songs we recorded on our numerous tours. Although the quality of some songs is not the best, we decided to put them on the record....because playing live means a lot more than just sound!

Length: 75:39min
