Trivia
❓ This album was briefly mentioned during several interviews in the mid'00s; the ASOT #147 interview Armin conducted with Piet and Benno; a Dutch interview with Piet for an event called Sunsation taking place in Groningen in the Netherlands in March 2005; and a WiLDCHiLD interview with Piet back in February 2006.
❓ According to that Sunsation interview, "Opus 17" was confirmed to be on this album alongside a second track, which is understood to have been "Top Gear", given the interview conducted on March 2nd 2005, and Top Gear had been premiered as an untitled track during their live performance at Trance Energy 2005 two weeks prior.
❓ Piet said they had already made a lot of diverse tunes for said album and that the aim with this album was to make music across the board. Sadly, this second Rank 1 album never materialized...

Quotes
💬 ASOT #147 XXL interview with Rank 1's Benno de Goeij & Piet Bervoets (by Armin van Buuren -translated by Razormane) [AVB reads fan question by Erik Reuterink]:* I have a question for the Rank 1 boys! First of all, I want to wish them a lot of success with the whole Rank 1 project; I've been a loyel fan for a while now, ever since their huge hit "Superstring [Rank 1 Remix]". But the question I have is, when will there be a new album, outside of the [mix compilation] on ID&T? [BG] We are working on it but we've got a lot of things happening in the mean time, like this mix compilation -which is fun too!- but no plan yet. [AVB] But do you have a date [in mind] for it? [BG] No, no date yet- [PB] You can't ever settle on a date [that far in advance]. -Sorry for interjecting, but you can never decide on a date that way. For all you know, you don't have any inspiration and you will end up putting tracks on it that you don't believe in for 100% and you wouldn't want that either.

💬 SunSation Groningen interview with Rank 1's Piet Bervoets (by Jeroen Berkenbosch -translated by Razormane) [JB] What is Rank 1 up to at the moment? [PB] I’m very busy at the moment. I don’t spend much time at home and I have a lot of performances. At this very moment we’re working on two new tracks for our new album. One of them is going to be called ‘Opus 17’, for the other we don’t have a name yet since we’re still working on it. [2005/03/02] Rank 1 INTERVIEW // Bring On The London Sound Clash!! by WiLDCHiLD
💬 WiLDCHiLD interview with Rank 1's Piet Bervoets (by Matt Kaycee and Kriess Guyte) [MK&KG] So what’s happening now! What have you and Benno got in store for us next? Tell us about your new production work and the album that’s coming out. [PB] The album is going to be very different. We have a lot of diverse tracks so far, we want to make music across the board. We have been working on a breakbeat tune that I'm absolutely loving. Breakbeat is great to play with, we're thinking of calling it "2 Drunk 2 Funk". Benno’s working with Ronald Van Gelderen at the moment on another project. It’s not going to be House or Breaks so watch out for that! [2006/02/10] Rank 1 INTERVIEW // Bring On The London Sound Clash!! by WiLDCHiLD

This album was going to be "very diverse" so uh, guess you might also like
