History

Schiller's second studio album Weltreise (World Trip) was inspired by a two-month-long road trip that Deylen took with his father from London to Peking. Schiller's fourth studio album is entitled Tag Und Nacht (Day And Night). It was released in Germany through Universal Music in mid-fall 2005. The North American release of Day And Night was on July 10th, 2007. A dvd with the same name containing footage of a live concert was released simultaneously. In December 2007, Schiller officially announced their fifth studio album, Sehnsucht (Longing) which is scheduled for release in Germany on February 15th, 2008. According to the Schiller website Sehnsucht will be a three disc release, containing two CDs and a DVD. Over 30 new songs will be on the album, with prior musical talent including Kim Sanders and Jette von Roth slated to return, as well as new talent including Klaus Schulze of Tangerine Dream, Ana Torroja, Despina Vandi, Ben Becker, Xavier Naidoo, and others. The DVD is slated to contain footage from the Schiller concert in Kiev, as well as music video clips and 15-minute segment with von Deylen himself. Also to be included is a 36-page book containing photos and Schiller-related ephemera. Drifting and Dreamin, a new track which has been previewable on the Schiller official site, is projected to the be the first single off off of Sehnsucht.
