Albums
Their first album, titled Crash Test 01, was released in October 2006[1]. It contained 8 tracks, 5 in English and 3 in Italian. The tracks were composed over the course of 2½–3 years, though during the time that Jeffrey and Maury were still working under Eiffel 65. This album was originally intended to be Eiffel's fourth album, but it was thought to be too dark for the band which until then had been characterized as playing upbeat and happy dance music. This partly contributed to Jeffrey and Maury's departure from Blissco.
The band's second album is considered to be a 'second chapter' or 'second part' of Crash Test 01 and is thusly titled, Crash Test 02. The album is said to contain lighter and more upbeat songs than the first. According to www.bloom06world.co.uk/news.htm, (Another Bloom 06 website) Crash Test 02 was pushed back to November 2007 and has now been delayed again. Maury apologized for the delays but assured everyone that it was coming.[2]
On February 12, 2008, Bloom 06 released a 60-second sample of their new song, "Between the Lines", on their MySpace page. They also announced that the new release date for their second album is expected to be April or May 2008.
On March 27, 2008, Bloom 06 released a new one and a half minute sample of their new album titled "Anche Solo Per Un Attimo". This track is in Italian.
Due to the amazing reception of the preview of "Anche Solo Per Un Attimo", on April 4, 2008, the band released two new previews on their MySpace page. The first song is titled "Un'altra Come Te", and the other is titled "Welcome to The Zoo". The tracks are in Italian and English, respectively.
