* SpiritualSuccessor: Tin's second album, ''[[http://www.stereoalchemy.com/ God of Love]]'', despite a GenreShift to techno(mostly from Trip Hop and PostPunk), follows a similar theme of Love and Death, and also draws upon poetry and literature, mostly from the Renaissance and Romantic periods. It's also far DarkerAndEdgier than ''Calling All Dawns''.

The album, self-published by Tin himself, was released to universal acclaim, even winning a pair of Grammys in the process, and for once there's a good reason for that. Each song is very well-produced, with a consistent level of quality throughout, and the guest vocalists and choir give it a distinctly different feel from what is normally expected. Impressively, one group did a cover of Mado Cara Mieru before it was even ''released''. Overall, it's definitely worth buying.
