Milo's Craving actually is a duo, with exceptionally talented guest musicians. All songs are written and composed by Kathrin Elfman, who also sings and plays additional keyboards, guitars and bass. The magic fingers of keyboard player and executive producer Klaus P. Rausch bring all the virtous pianos, mighty organs, crazy SFX and magnificant synth solos to life. He also does all synth programming and sound design.
the album "The more you know":
... was written, arranged and recorded by Kathrin Elfman and Klaus P. Rausch in several studio locations in Germany. It contains eight pieces and 62 min of music.
... is a concept album and, like every authentic writing, embraces autobiographical overtones. It starts with the 18min rock opus "Prince of Darkness" in three chapters, and ends with the tender love song "Will You?". The journey is illustrated in a 24p booklet which also works as a travel guide through the dark abysses of, well: craving. The most energetic human emotion.

the music:
... is inspired by personal favorites e.g. Kansas, Rush, Neal Morse, Genesis, Pink Floyd. Powerful arrangements with vocals arranged for vocals, guitars, strings, keyboards and drums. It also includes elements of classic music and movie soundtracks.
... can do without computer gewgaws. It’s always about the song, the lyrics, the hook. Every Milo’s Craving song can be performed fully orchestrated as well as unplugged, just with vocals and acoustic guitars. If you’re looking for a "file under…"-tag, write PSOAR for "Progressive Songwriter Oriented Art Rock" on it *LOL*.
