We were very pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate with Vlado Meller, who mastered the album in the USA. He as a native of Slovakia was pleasantly surprised by our music. So we are very delighted to say that the person who put his touches on the songs of Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and many other huge names of the music world also worked on our record."
