was making the preparations to begin recording what was to be his next solo album. It was not long before the idea of a single album was scratched since Gary Hughes
, ended up recording 28 songs that were to be divided into two albums - one containing the heavier material, and one that would contain the ballads. The initial idea was to mix the album in the USA, so famous guitarists were considered for the guitarist position, like Doug Aldrich
, Lanny Cordola
and Ralph Santolla
. However, when it was decided to lay down the guitar parts in England the name of the guitarist Vinny Burns
(Dare
, Ultravox
) was brought up. Given the fact that Mike Stone

marked a change in the overall sound of TEN, which was now a combination of the instantly recognisable Melodic Rock/Hard Rock sound of the two previous albums and of powerful/epic atmospheres and influences. With the addition of bassist Steve Mckenna the band toured heavily for a year, in support of their newly released album, while in 1998 the band's Japanese label ZERO Records and the European Frontiers Records released a double live album named Never Say Goodbye.

In addition to The Essential Collection, the band announced the release of a new album in 2006 and so, in August 2006 the band released The Twilight Chronicles
