What followed was a success story that is one of its kind. After hitting off the celebrations for their 25th anniversary with a fully remixed edition of their debut album Shadow Of The Moon in 2023, Candice and Ritchie continued the festivities with the worldwide release of an anniversary edition of their acclaimed third studio album Fires At Midnight in 2024.
