In 1973 the band expanded its line-up with the addition of Philip de Goey on saxophone, woodwinds, and oboe. Their sole album was recorded over six days at the Stable Studio in Arnhem, The Netherlands. The album was titled Daybreak and was released in 1976, pressed in only 500 copies. The music is mainly instrumental and is influenced by Focus, Yes, and Pink Floyd. After the release of the album Mirror toured their native Holland extensively. But internal disagreements soon led to the departure of Johan Saanen and the band finally split up in late 1976. 2) Mirror are a four piece math/post-rock band from Tokyo, Japan formed in April 2003 under the name "Journal Spy Effort" as a three piece band.

MIRROR use lots of incfluences, such as visual kei, glam, gothic, classical music and folklore (mostly Russian), that create an original kaleidoscopic sound. MIRROR released 2 albums: "Shocking Debut" (2007), "Valentine's Eve" (2012) and 4 singles (each including non-album tracks): "Red Dye" (2006), "Heart Of Ice" (2007), "Valentine" (2008), "Glitter Critter" (2012). MIRROR had played the first gig in 2002 and since the second gig in 2004 the line-up never changed: Mike Breeze (vocals, piano, bass, balalaika, occasional guitars), Ramin Andarmani (guitars, backing vocals) Ian Weid (drums, backing vocals). In 2005 Mike played a solo piano gig featuring mostly piano versions of Mirror songs, and Leif Astroid (aka Dancette Pleasure from German glam rock band The Pleasures) sang "Heart Of Ice" as special guest. It worked so well that Mike and Leif decided to continue joint work in the studio, as well as on stage. At first, it all took place as part of MIRROR recordings and live gigs, and sometimes as "Mike+Leif" live gigs - as a kind of side project. The duet gradually evolved into a real band and the name SOLOWSHOW* was chosen. SOLOWSHOW* concentrates on unplugged music in the studio and live, while the music is influenced by the same rock / metal, / visual kei / glam / goth kaleidoscope like MIRROR's music, plus lots of drama and cabaret elements. SOLOWSHOW*'s line-up never changed since its first appearance in 2005: Mike Breeze (piano, acoustic guitar, vocals), Leif Astroid (lead vocals, keyboards, occasional percussion). SOLOWSHOW* released an album that was titled after the band's style with the self-created word "Visuacoustic" (2012). After that, the band immediately started working on the 2nd album... The single "The Won" (2014) was first aired on 23. May 2014, Friday, ~6 pm CET (Berlin time) - ~midnight EST (Pennsylvania time) on American DJ CyberMusicLover's show on Power92-Radio.com (also aired via Nokia, Nobex, Global, Virtual Radio, Radio Tuna, Tunein Radio, iTunes). SOLOWSHOW* constantly tour all over Germany and sometimes in Mike's home country - Russia, but also plan to expand their territories.
