Due to the European Union’s new packaging regulations, we can no longer sell CDs and LPs via Bandcamp within the EU.
Shipping within Germany is also no longer possible because the bureaucratic burden in both regions has become unmanageable.
Since shipping to the United States is also no longer possible due to U.S. customs policies, there are hardly any countries left where we can offer CDs to fans of our music.
The UK, Canada, and Australia remain exempt from this regulation.
Fans from other countries, please send an email to
first.klangwerk@gmail.com
if you’d like to purchase a CD or LP; we’ll then send you a supplier address.
But please help to stop this madness and sign the petition:

Here's is our latest video, in all its glory.
This piece is more romantic than many of the other songs we usually do, but I just love the variety.
Beautiful vocals by LIZA, beautiful drums by Todd Sucherman and a beautiful bass by Lars Slowak.
A message from Frank:
"Here’s a video Todd and I worked on.
I had this vision of a city breaking through the cloud cover.
Nothing too unusual about that.
But how extraordinary would it be if you wanted to visit that city and even the runway were above the clouds?
And what if you could play keyboards, guitar, and drums above the clouds as well?
So join Todd, Lars, and me on an imaginary journey..."

On October 11th, 2024, the Pilots had their first live performance ever. It was an evening that is remembered very fondly. The band was extremely energetic, and the audience, who didn't know LEGACY PILOTS at all, was very open and rewarded the band with lots of applause. “Wide Wide World,” was the last song played that night.

What a year for the Pilots.
We released Thru the Lens, which was very well received by critics and music lovers alike.
And in October the unexpected happened: Legacy Pilots live on stage.
Thanks again to Steven Rothery for inviting us as support act.
2025 could be exciting too. In February our live performances will be released on vinyl and towards the end of the year we aiming for a new studio album.
To say a worthy farewell to this year, we will be releasing a complete song - Ghosts of the Ocean - from our gig at the Docks on
YouTube:
Thanks to all the friends of the Pilots who have supported us again this year by buying CDs or downloads.
You make this project possible.
We wish you all a relaxing holiday season and for the New Year health, happiness and more peace in the world.

LEGACY PILOTS with their first live performance ever
Steve Rothery, an extraordinary guitarist and friend of LEGACY PILOTS, is playing in Hamburg on 11 October. That in itself is a reason for great joy.
Another reason might be, that Legacy Pilots are the opening act with their first live performance ever.
And if this is not enough, our friend FINALLY GEORGE will do the lead vocals.
Does this sounds good?
AUGUST 3rd 2024

Dear LEGACY PILOTS friends, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
We plan to release the next Pilots album in 2024. There is no exact date yet, but just this much - what we have recorded so far is really promising, and we will certainly share some excerpts in the soon
DRUM HERO FRIDAY!
In order to let the waiting become not too long until the release, here are two more excerpts from the upcoming album.
I'm absolutely aware of the incredible luck to have two of the world's best drummers in the band. Todd Sucherman and Marco Minnemann are just insane.
A great weekend everyone!

Today we have released our first single from the upcoming album HELIX on all common streaming services.
The single version of TRUE SPIRIT is pretty different from the album version.
So even if you have heard this song by the time of the album release, there is something new to discover in the album version.
Friday 24th 2023
Here comes the latest update:
The last days were once again marked by a lot of detail work. What will soon be delivered to the pressing plant, has then existed forever. What is on a CD remains and of course you do not want to
have not the slightest technical error on it.
Today we like to share the back of the cover of our new album and thus also the track list.
February 19th
One step closer:
Yesterday we had a very intense nine-hour session in the mastering studio.
A lot of detail work but we think it was worth it.
We will listen carefully to the results over the next few days and then go into finalization.
February 10th
We’re excited to share with you the artwork and the title of our new album, coming end of March:
December 31st
To all our friends and fans:
The pilots wish you a wonderful new year!
Peace and Love.

Enjoy!

As so often in life, plans are the idea of how things should go. But then things turn out differently.
And with our new album it is no different. Actually, we wanted to be much further, but it is difficult when commitments can not be kept or illnesses come in between.
Nevertheless, there was progress and we had promised to post something from time to time.
This is a small excerpt of our 17 minute suite, and based on the pictures we can confirm, that Todd played through the whole piece in one go. And of course as a first take. Hats off to one of the
bests in his guild.
Here is the link to the video:

We plan to share every month a little video from the recordings sessions until the new album is ready for release.
What you will hear is far from being ready. Some instruments might be missing or will be replaced, of course it is not finally mixed nor mastered but it could give you a certain impression what is it
all about.
Today we start with a drum recording session of Marco Minnemann.
April 2nd
Hello everyone,
One or the other question has already come up and we don't want to make a big secret out of it,
but yes, there will be at least one new Legacy Pilots album.
With us will be definitely Todd Sucherman, Marco Minnemann, Pete Trewavas, Steven Rothery,
John Mitchell, Lars, Finally George and many other "usual suspects".
The writing of new music has begun and some recording has already taken place.
However, there is still a long way to go and if asked for a release date we would roughly say end of this year, beginning of next year.
We really looking forward to our next production.
