More information: What originally started out as one new studio opus plus a bonus disc is now very much two fully blown Karfagen albums!
The core of CD 1 comes from the creative period during the 'Dragon' and 'Bird' sessions, they are musically as powerful, energising and divergent as anything you will have heard to date from the band whilst still displaying the distinct Karfagen hallmarks.
With a mix of Jazz, Zappa, Tony Banks and Antony Kalugan's own unique musical styles you can experience just how musically diverse the recordings are. The album includes some bird melodies which tie the two albums both in sound and spirit whilst the bonus track is a remixed and remastered version of the previous digital only single 'The Day Is Done'.
CD 2 is a directors cut, an instrumental version totally reworked from the 'Passages' studio album.
