In March 2006 they released their third album together: Noble, Sentimental & Ambient Waltzes (MT008), a dark, cinematic work inspired by Maurice Ravel's series of waltzes for the piano. The fourth album 'Echoes from an Engulfed Cathedral' (MT011) came out in January 2007; this impressionistic ambient work was again inspired by Claude Debussy's music. Their fifth artistic co-creation, Nangilima (MT015) was released in December 2007. This album, inspired by Dmitri Shostakovich's piano music, focused on the theme of childhood: its joys, fears and fantasies. In January 2008 came out Cosmic Lullabies (MT018), a calm, cosmic and meditative work.
