However, because of the much better quality of the sound, it is worthwhile for all the people, who already know my music to re-experience these songs. Because with Transition the music is a bit closer to the listener. Furthermore there are two new songs (Melancholia and Fall Days), one very old, but never recorded song (Schlaflied - Lullaby) and "My Mistress" as guitar version.

Transition stands for passage, change, even mutation and metamorphosis. This album presents a mental process, where the human personality is searching for the light, explanations, sense and in this way it can learn the inner cleaning. Everything that i want to come alive with these 21 songs, is some kind of catharsis of modern age - the search for the very own but abstract I.

The order of the songs is chronological (not Schlaflied, it ought to be at the beginning) and some songs are much older than the project "Shino". In that way you can find the expression of my own search, my own catharsis, my own path in these songs.

Thanks to everybody, who supports me! Everybody who listens to my songs... Everybody who can feel and understand my songs... Everybody who plays and distributes my songs... I am not the great musician and song-maker, i just want to give you a bit of vitality and pureness, with all the perfection and rawness. In the ecstasy to find the best riff, the fastest solo, the groviest equipment and the professional appearance, our world of music became very plastic and dead.
