CD track list & notes (by Ricky Seraphico):
01 – Mysterious Spheres (3’39):
This track was specially written for UFO Magazine’s 2000 EBE Award winning video, entitled “The Mysterious Spheres”. As with many of the compositions on this CD, this is a very visual song, a journey through time and space, about man’s history and the non-existent missing link. We have never been alone…ever!
02 – Alien Abduction – Part 1: The Hunting (4’04):
This theme is about the hunting and fear normally associated with abductions, it depicts the unfortunate nasty side of many abductions.
03 – Alien Soul (5’39):
The search within, the feeling of being alienated by society for our own beliefs and ideas. But the fight goes on, for the soul is unbreakable.
04 - Alien Abduction – Part 2: The Suffering (4’27):
This is a tribute to all abductees, for all their suffering and sorrows, their fight against all the ridicule and laugher, the difficulty in being accepted by others and above all, by themselves. You are not alone.
05 – Planet X (6’45):
The thought of having lived in greater places, better times and previous lives, be it in Atlantis, or on Planet X, the long forsaken planet. Here, I try and imagine what their lives on this planet were like, getting inside their dreams. The transition of the planet in time and space, the long elliptical journey back.
06 – The Unknown (Government Conspiracy) (7’14):
The battle of light versus evil, good against bad, truth against the world leaders, debunkers and sceptics’ shameful lies and conspiracies. Governments and military suppressing the sacred truth for the sake of their own selfish causes and agendas. But truth shall prevail in the end.
07 – Venus & Mars (3’54):
The Venusian’s and Martian’s traits we all carry within us. The much needed balance in our lives. The myths and legends about human beings having lived in those planets prior to coming to Earth, we seem to have inherited part of their make-up and volatile emotions.
08 – U.S.O.s’: An Underwater World (7’04):
A tale of a civilization that inhabits our oceans, having come from the deep cosmos, setting up underwater bases here on earth. Inspired by the film “The Abyss”. The serene beauty of our enchanting and enigmatic deep seas in an introspective and peaceful mood, in search of unity.
09 – Grey’s Talk (5’17):
A classic UFO anthem, the exciting world of Aliens and spaceships, an intriguing and exuberant ballet in our own skies. A hidden agenda?
10 – Europa (5’37):
2010 Space Odyssey, maybe there’s a beautiful place out there being prepared for mankind, for when we shall, one day, all leave planet Earth. Where do we come from, who are we? The never ending, soul searching lingers on.
11 – Ethereal World (10’51):
Part 1: 4th Ray People; Part 2: The Initiation; Part 3: The Gathering
The time of reckoning, meeting our ancestors, facing our own destiny, looking for the truth within, an initiation into the next level. We are as Gods, for we are as one. A spiritual exercise of mind and soul.
