This collection documents the process of creative evolution through a personally significant period. I like to view this album as a kind of shadow album to Escape from Heaven (Some Place Else 2006). Besides the chronological overlap there are several more or less obvious parallels between tracks on these two albums.

Originally, back in 2002 or so, I envisioned Escape from Heaven as a companion EP to Stainway to Heaven (that is, tracks 5-8 on this album), but as we have witnessed, things turned out quite unlike that. Then there’s the ChAmber MooSick EP (tracks 1-3 on this album) from 2001 that in many ways is a direct precursor to all that followed.

In addition to these two EPs, I included a bunch of other tracks from roughly the same period. Some of them were destined to projects that didn’t come to be, some others are just random acts of spontaneous creation that didn’t find their place until now. Despite whatever flaws these songs may carry, I find this collection quite enjoyable and meaningful to myself. Thus I want to make it available for a wider audience. Bon voyage!
