| I've always liked the ambiance of Father Time and I've been thinking of doing this remix for quite some time now. I recorded all new tracks for this mix. Everything is done from scratch. A couple of new things you'll notice this version is a tight drum track and some strings appear also. Both of those are absent on the original. I also added a few new twists and nuances at the beginning and ending!!

| "Life's Grand Illusion" Is my outlook on how we generally live our lives in this world.
There are so many masks that we wear and we dilute so many things to the point that a lot of what we do is just an illusion of who we really are. I believe that once we begin to truly respect one another and be honest with ourselves, then we can be honest with our fellow man.
No more deception! |

| This is our heaviest song to date. Michael wrote some really intense lyrics and I decided that the music must be over the top.
However,I balanced the insanity of the verses
with a very melodic chorus.
Enjoy!

| My good friend James thought of The main flute melody and came to me with it. I recorded it and then laid down the arrangements to turn it into a song.
James's Idea behind the "oriental" sounding flute was the thought of two martial arts masters about to face off in a challenge to the death.
Well, Here's some fighting music for you!! |

| "Father Time" Is a song lamenting the loss of time. Everyone can remember a moment in their life when they would change something or make different decisions if they only could go back in time. However, since Father Time only moves forward we can only ponder:
What if? |

| I wrote this instrumental piece as I was reflecting back on my life and all of the decisions I had made. Realizing that in most cases, there is no way to go back to how things used to be. It's far beyond "The Point Of No Return". |

| This is a very dreamy and reflective piece.
I have long enjoyed writing songs that are
dramatic and emotive. "At Last" reflects the "film score composer" that lurks in me.
Let your imagination be the movie!

| This is my latest symphony composition. It features a strong string melody line and then
scales back in the middle for a piano and violin rendition of the melody. It ends with a complete different movement. Enjoy! |

| For this classical composition, I could vision that a grand battle had just been fought and the conquering side claims victory. The opening and central movement is jubilent and celebrates the victory. The second movement slows down and brings the focus back to the tragedy of war and death. The reality that no one really wins in war. It finishes with a prodding rendition of the first movement as the soldiers make their way back to safety.

| The message in "Apart" is very simple. It's about two people who long to be together but life has not granted the union.
The lyrics are very simple and to the point.
In contrast I wrote a very intricate arrangement for the music with the touch of a classical piano concerto. |
