January 25, 2002: Virgin Germany has plans for a re-release of Michael Cretu's 1983 album Legionäre, with a tentative release date of March 4, 2002. The album was originally released in both German and English language versions, but this re-release will be the German language version only.

Michael Cretu spoke about this re-release in an interview with a German DJ in early December, where he mentioned that it will benefit from a much better sound quality. Cretu seemed very excited about this re-release.

Musically, Legionäre has nine songs, with vocals on most, and with a few musical melodies recurring throughout. One of the songs, Zeitlose Reise, later appeared with new and English lyrics as Sisters And Brothers on Sandra's 1985 debut album.
