The 1st version of this album I finished at the beginning of 2001. Unlike the previous one, this one is much more classical and less commercial. The style is based on medievalistic and fantasy inspirations. It tells a story about unusual journey into the land which only our imagination can create. The titles of the songs draw a bit of an outline of the story while the music fills it with the atmosphere... And everything has begun with the last song, one called Lonely Castle. In the beginning, it had its own way to become like it is now. However, I've been thinking for a while there was a bit of influence from my favourite fantasy book, 'With A Single Spell' written by Lawrence Watt-Evans. When I had to choose a title, I thought about a castle - the one like an abandoned celtic or medieval castle somewhere in the Highlands, in the walls of which the ancient echoes still dwell, remembering the times when the world was much more simple... After some time, Lonely Castle inspired me to create an album with the same style and feelings, with itself as an ending and a summary. So I chose some old tracks to stylize and I wrote others during a few years. This way the 'Final Journey - the Album' has been created in the present version. |

I spent last year creating new versions of some tunes, and I have already made some changes in first part of the album. I consider adding at least one new piece and I'm going to do some changes in key compositions in the second part. Lonely Castle is going to be unchanged, except using better recording technics. This way the second edition will be created, it's going to be finished in a year or years. |
