Steevi's last last project, with rock band Heaven & Earth took him and his band with an amazing management team to Mountain Studios, Switzerland, to work with world class top Producer David Richards (QUEEN, BOWIE, IGGY POP, MICHAEL JACKSON, DURAN DURAN, CHRIS REA, DEEP PURPLE, Phil Collins  etc.) on a promotional album.

Whilst recording in Montreux, and drums still mic'd up and warm from nearly a months slog he was asked personally to record some new tracks (on speculation) for Brian May's album 'Another World' whilst at Mountain, however "Swiss Time" ran out due to David's commitment to the H&E project allowing Cozy Powell to finish what he'd started...
Some things are just meant to be...
