Released 26 September 2008, the standard version contains twelve tracks, four of which have been released as singles. Fox performed the Single "Schwarz zu Blau" at the Bundesvision Song Contest 2009 in Potsdam while representing Berlin, and won, becoming the first person to win the contest twice (his first win coming in 2006 as a member of the band Seeed). The album was certified 6× Platin for shipping 1.2 million copies in Germany and is the 3rd most downloaded album of all time there, selling 100,000 copies just due to downloads.
The song "Alles neu" with its violin riff from Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 was sampled by both Plan B (Ill Manors) and Raffy L'z.
