Description
When Gamma Ray started to work on their second studio album “Sigh No More” in spring 1991, the international heavy metal scene had just been plunged into their fi rst and at the same time most serious crisis to date. Grunge was the fl avour of the day and musicians sporting checked shirts and a grubby street look were fast becoming the new stars. At the beginning of September 1991, Nirvana’s hit ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ arrived on the scene and Kurt Cobain became the icon of a new musical genre. The old heroes were considered outdated, or at least so it seemed for some time. But Gamma Ray managed what only few were able to do during that time: their sophomore album “Sigh No More” sure didn’t sound outdated. The Gamma Ray line-up consisting of Hansen, Ralf Scheepers, Dirk Schlächter, Uwe Wessel & Uli Kusch rented a holiday cottage on the Danish island of Rømø. They took only their “hand luggage”, i.e. drums, just a few guitars/bass guitars and small amps, as well as – to be able to record their ideas – two microphones and an ADAT recorder, a kind of predecessor of today’s digital studio programs. Back in Hamburg, they continued to polish their ideas together with producer Tommy Newton and created a powerful and harmonious album When the album was released on 21 September 1991, the highlights were soon identifi ed: the opener ‘Changes’ became a Gammy Ray classic, just like ‘Dream Healer’, the longest track on the album, and ‘One With The World’, supported by the fi rst “Sigh No More” video clip, shot in the sand dunes on Rømø. ‘Rich And Famous’ was extremely popular, and the initially slightly inconspicuous ‘The Spirit’ developed into an insider’s tip among fans.
