Nachdem MACCLESFIELD After producing so many tracks with ESC candidate songs in their own studio, the EmE Studios Hannover, that it was enough for a promo CD, the band expanded their ambitions to a vinyl production!
The LP, released on the Hanover-based label Yellow Snake Records, offers a varied overview of the band's recent history:
It documents the band's transition from lead singer Andrea Tretter to the two young singers Charlotte Blase and Frida Görth, and then back to Andrea, who returned to the band during production. All three singers can be heard on the LP. And that's not all: The current album, also new to the band, MACCLESFIELD young singer Salina Kargl-Williams is featured on the two latest songs “Into new skies” and “Mr. Analogue”, both of which were presented by the band at the national preliminary round for the ESC (Eurovision Song Contest) 2025 in San Marino, can also be heard.

However, another special feature should not go unmentioned:
While side 1 is designed in the band’s typical style, MACCLESFIELD on page 2, it is important to pay tribute to certain musicians who have recently passed away with a cover and a piece of their own:
First, there are the Hanover-based Krautrockers Jane. Of the four who died recently, the band knew two personally. The cover features Werner Nadolny's original top hat, which has since become the band's property. The band pays tribute to Jane with an 18-minute cover version of “Fire, water, earth and air/Fire – You give me some sweet lovin’”.
With the self-composed “Nachklang” the band pays tribute to Dr. Dr. Dieter Schnebel, one of the most important composers of atonal modernism. The piece refers on Schnebel's work "Orchestra," in which the musicians change positions during the recording. It begins with the title "Einklang" and ends with the title "Ausklang."
