In January, Hecker established his own record label "Blue Soldier Records", where, in March (respectively May) of the same year, he released his sixth studio album in Europe: "I Am Nothing But Emotion, No Human Being, No Son, Never Again Son". This record, accomplished without producer or studio musicians, and, like his debut "Infinite Love Songs" mainly a home recording, portrayed a return to Hecker's roots. In the course of the year, "I Am Nothing But Emotion, No Human Being, No Son, Never Again Son" was released in South Korea, Taiwan (by this time on Gold Typhoon Music), Mainland China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore.
