Conditions for Musicians and also for the Musicindustry were changing after the Millenium.
With the Rise of Mp3`s , legal and Illegal Download Sites and Companys like " CD Baby" which allowes the independent Artist to publish what ever he wants no matter how less mainstream the Music is .
"Towards the blue horizon" was the first Album I released on CD Baby , briefly followed by "Episodes 1" . Other Disrtibuters followed and my Music found it's way as MP3's on "iTunes" and "Napster".
A Fan - Jared White - from California created and run my first Homepage "guidomeyer.com"
​
I was carrying Ideas , Riffs and Melodies for "Lighyears" inside of me like a pregnant Woman. Collecting them since 1999 . I had this idea for a concept Album about the End of our Sunsystem in about 5-7 Billion Years. My Friend Alex Seewald purposely wrote a little Artikel about the Subjekt which was printed inside the CD Inlaycard.
The Recordings pushed my small Studio to it's Limits .
With only 16 Tracks to record , I was forced to do Ping Pong Tracking and I did lot's of it.
Never before I had played so many Overdubs ,..
Lightyears became one of my best and most succsessfull Albums and was very positive recived in the World of New Age- and Electronic Music ,...it was released in 2005.
