And the winner is..... "Inner Sanctum"

Oh, dear Reader, so many good things happened yesterday in this adventure called- Let's Record an Album:
1) We got to hear all of the songs with all of the instruments, choirs, orchestra, etc. for the first time. There is a lovely depth, continuity, and surprise in each one of the songs. The arrangements are just amazing, thanks to the genius of Florian Sitzmann. It still needs to be mixed and mastered- that is studio talk for ironing out the wrinkles. But we can hear where it's going and we're very very happy with what we hear.
2) It is now official: The album title is Inner Sanctum. We are just so pleased and so relieved that this discussion is over and the most perfect album title has been approved.
3) Ralf Schroeter has hammered together a marketing and publicity plan for this album that is so ambitious and broad that it makes me want to go take a nap! This is a first for any of the albums I've been involved in. He is all fire and flames (a German idiom describing excitement over something) for this album. He just loves it and is already coming up with catch phrases to describe it. Things like "this album is a danger for your complacency", and "dare to awaken your spirituality" and "fragility meets power". I guess my voice is the fragile aspect of the music????? It's certainly not Eddie's. He sings like a Greek god!
4) Bernd Hartwig, our graphic designer, also heard the songs for the first time, and has a stunning idea for the cover. We can't wait to see what he comes up with.
5) Perhaps most amazing of all: Lukas was home alone all day and mowed the lawn, did his wash, cleaned his room and walked the dog. All without being told. What????????

On September 3 is the photo shoot for this album. Now, if only I could lose 30 pounds before then.......
