Do tego motywu przewodniego nawiązuje ciekawa i bardzo starannie wykonana szata graficzna "Strong Together", co w przypadku wydawnictw zespołu Quidam stało się już miłą dla odbiorcy tradycją. Wydawnictwo zatytułowane jest "Strong Together", czyli podobnie jak tytuł ostatniego utworu z płyty "Alone Together", której głównym motywem są różne formy samotności. Center stage undoubtedly belongs to Bartek Kossowicz who really puts his heart into the vocals carrying across the whole spectrum of emotions - there is a place for melancholy, longing, raw power and even a bit of irony. The longest-serving band members - Zbyszek Florek (keyboards), Maciek Meller (guitars) and Jacek Zasada (woodwind), supported by a fantastic rhythm section (Mariusz Ziolkowski - bass guitar, and Maciej Wroblewski - drums) recreate here their trademark soundscapes with unmatched ingenuity. But the strength of their performance lies not so much in a question of "what?" but "how?" Never before was the band's sound so natural, spontaneous and full-blooded in a truly rock fashion - qualities brought forward by a superb sound production, especially impressive in 5.1. All rendered flawlessly by the ensemble and their talented guests (Tylda Ciolkosz, a barefoot violinist, and Piotr Rogoz, an incendiary saxophonist). A strong title, and an apt one at that, as it accurately pinpoints the quality flowing through Quidam's latest release: a deluxe DVD and double-CD package documenting a truly outstanding live performance of the band's already well established material along with some intriguing musical surprises.

"Before joining the tour I had a full formation at the headquarters in Montreal with vocal and staging coaches, so when I stepped on the Quidam stage, I felt ready to start the adventure.
