Sylwia Wojciechowska took charge of vocalist, from Apogeum band joined Mariusz Ziolkowski, drum player became Radek Wieckowski, who has played in few local bands before. Soon Tomek Wisniewski supported the band.

In new personnel, full of zest enthusiasm they started common rehearses. The band soon started producing material, which was thought to account for their debut album. One year later, in September 2002 After... started recording at ISLAND STUDIO and at the City's Theatre in Inowroclaw.
Choosing Zbyszek Florek as a sound engeenier was a perfect decision.
From the first hours of common work there was an excellent atmosphere what brought many interesting, not only musical, ideas.
Unfortunately due to Zbyszek Florek's and the band member's duty recording was stopped and delayed. Meanwhile Quidam revived with Mariusz Ziolkowski on bass. After... debut album was slowly creating.
