TRACK BY TRACK COMMENTARY:

1) When the World was young
Written and recorded in 2018 for the "Dawn of the Dungeoneers vol.1" compilation (DungeonIt Collective).

2) A Winter Refuge
Originally released on Bandcamp as a single track in December 2017.

3) Ages undreamed of
Previously released with different mix and drums as bonus track for the "Ruins" CD reissue (2018).

4) Ask the Fairies...
Originally composed and recorded (with Italian title "Chiedi alle Fate...") in 2018 for the "Vette Inquiete" album, than reworked in 2019 with a different cut.

5) I found a passage to Arcadia
Recorded in 2019 for the "Tales from the Inn at the edge of the World vol.2" (released by Heimat Der Katastrophe).

6) Blood of Russia ***
2019 outtake from the "Bogatyr" sessions.

7) Gate to the Enchanted Woods ***
First encounter with Sidereal Fortress, early 2017. An absolute rarity!

8) The forgotten Tomb of Yshnak ***
Written and recorded in 2017. This is the lost title-track of the best selling Heimat Der Katastrophe album (April 2018).

9) Return of the Cube!
Outtake from the "Racconti del Focolare" sessions. Appeared only as a hidden track for the "Dawn of the Dungeoneers vol.3" compilation (DungeonIt Collective, 2019).

10) Moonchild ***
Previously unreleased cover of King Crimson's classic tune.

11) Prisoners of an unknown dimension
Original Sidereal Fortress' mix 2017/2018. The late version you hear on "The Forgotten Tomb of Yshnak" album is actually a reworked one.

12) Retreat to the ruined fortress ***
A "live in studio" improvisation based on classic Dungeon Synth styling, 2019.

13) Where Dreams fade away
Originally released on Bandcamp as a single track in February 2019, with Italian title ("Là dove svaniscono i sogni").

Fell

from the Dungeon Gentleman, a collection of b-sides and other curiosisties. An artist who has left his mark in contemporary DS! Sidereal Fortress

Follow the old path
by Arcana Liturgia

Classy album from a Dungeon Synth legend! Production is at the highest level if compared to the rest of the scene, and even songwriting has notable qualitative peaks (tracks #4,#5 and #7). Get it now! Sidereal Fortress

Realm of Seers
by Morphic Sun

The one and only project which seems to have definitely assimilated Sidereal Fortress' approach to DS and taken it to a further level. Respect! Sidereal Fortress
