High in the sky, an eagle is flying. Look into your heart, would you like to fly with it, as far as your wings can take you, anywhere your heart desires?

Mirage 03:21
A beautiful view in the desert You see the falls. Is it an oasis floating there above, or is it a city, built for a thousand years or more? Millions of images all tied into one final vision. Will you survive? Is there any way back to the world you came from - is there a need, anymore?

about

This is the second album in my teenage trilogy after "Slumberland" (and before "Vermillion Blue"), harboring some quite strong emotions as well.

All the tracks have been created using PC tracker software, miscellaneous samples (from a variety of different sources) and limited quality headphones (the means I could get my hands on back then) between 1995 and 1998. See "Slumberland" for more info on the "lyrics".

You can probably also on this album notice some elements familiar from the tracker, demoscene + game music and even Eurodance genres of the time, together with some types of synthesizer music and many other influences.

It's fairly difficult for me to make picks here, but some of my own ones would be "S.0.S.", "Mirage", "A Line in the Sand", "Dream Triangle" and "Empty Grounds", and there's also another version of "White Dust" here that's been created a year later than the version on "Slumberland". "Epilogue", on the other hand, had another name before, and was originally designed to be demoscene music.

These three "teenage albums" have actually never been released in their entirety before 27.10.2017, although the info states the 6th-8th of June, 2001 as their release dates. Those dates are not exact either, but they're close enough to the time when I originally compiled the albums for release.

All the tracks listed here are potential candidates for new versions using more modern technology and improved skills. If you'd like to hear (or create) a new version of a particular track, please ping me about it!

Lauri Movall - composing and sequencing (between 1995-98), original mastering (in 2001) and album art (in 2017), remastering (in 2019).

Cubic Player was used to render the tracker modules into audio files in 2001, and the album was remastered later in December 2019.

Samples: As I am currently unable to link many of the samples used here to their original copyright owners, and much of the tracking information has been lost, please contact me if you know where they're originally coming from. Basically all the later (higher quality, 16-bit) samples are from products (official sample sets) I've paid for myself, but I don't want to upset anyone because of any of the older samples being used without explicit permission!
