"In the full-moon night of 15th-16th May 2003, the neuro-mystic Thorn Hoedh, passed away. He left behind for us to witness, his last album, a very special example of his talent in musical creativity. During his life, he was blessed with an extraordinary talent, a deep insight into the nature of things, Universum - God - he also allows us a look into deep dimensions, that many of us domesticated primates, have not had the chance to share. Even so, he did not just leave his brilliant work but also an indescribable "hole" in the universe of his loved ones, his two daughters, his wife and all his friends. -- Ad Rosam Per Crucem, Paul Hostia 23rd November 2003"
The style of the music here is in a similar vein as Hoedh's "Hymnvs" from 1993, but darker and more interesting. The album flows beautifully together telling a story. Given the circumstances of this release, compiled postmortem by Thorn Hoedh's partner Paul Hostia (together they were Moksha, DLS and OCT), it feels extremely personal. In my opinion this release is a great tribute to Thorn Hoedh. He has gone to join the Universum and left behind this inspiring music in his memory.
