Songs:

AFTERMATH 30:46

The monumental Aftermath is an epic drama with an apocalyptic vibe. It goes through many different stages of conditions before decaying into oblivion.

DEEP DREAM 21:18

Deep Dream picks up where Aftermath ends and submerges you further deep down a lonely inner space. Suddenly a nightmarish sleep paralysis invades your dream, holds its grip on you before eventually releases you out to a flowing stream of relaxation.

FLAMMARIONS UNIVERSUM 7:41

Flammarions Universum brings the album up and out from the introvert and dark mode. Largely inspired by the Flammarions engraving, a wood engraving by an unknown artist. It first appeared in Camille Flammarions book form 1888 L'atmosphère : météorologie populaire (Wikipedia). It illustrates a vision of the universe as humans have imagined it for many generations and constituted a large part of their minds and the western culture. Planets, stars, moons, and other exotic wonders populate the vast universe, in multi layered circular dances, before the eyes of the humble spectator gazing in awe. The image could even symbolize a hope for an existence outside the harshness that pervades the reality.
