On 10 March, Foreign Minister Maris Riekstins, during his official visit to Estonia presented his Estonian colleague Urmas Paet with the first advance copy of the new disk in English by BrainStorm group, "Years and Seconds", to be released simultaneously in all Baltic states only on Monday, 15 March.

When presenting BrainStorm's new album with the members' autographs, Mr Riekstins warned Foreign Minister Paet to take special care of the disk and not to upload the songs on the internet before the album has officially appeared on the market, as this would leave no doubts as to the source. At the press conference, Minister Paet promised to heed the advice.

"Years And Seconds" is the English language version of the album "Tur kaut kam ir jābūt" (There Must be Something in There). The title song of the new album, "Years And Seconds", was made available for Estonian radio stations as of January. End of March, the band is expected to go to Estonia with a series of promotion concerts for the new album: on 26 March in Tallinn, Rock Café, as part of Tallinn Music Week, a music industry conference and festival; and on 27 March in Tartu, in Club Illusion.
