Artist description There's something in the air beneath the music pressed on this CD that is undiscernible, and unique all the same. Some feeling that is hard to define right before the first notes of the first song emerge from your CD player. You'll feel it, when the music begins to play and you want to do nothing else but sit and listen to something special being built up around your ears. That's the sound of inspiration. And our inspiration is now yours. Use it wisely.

Music Style Inventive Alternative for the pop dreary land, with orchestral flourishes and inspiring lyrics.
