FROM  LAKE OF TEARS:

Fellow cosmic sailors
Again (I cannot state this enough), Ominous is a whole, and there is really no way to select a single song that is representative. So, I just chose the second one.
We have reached the destination, far away, at the end of the world. The night has been so close and so long and all communication is now gone.
In wait and in worries

This song (and all the other ones on Ominous) should really be listened to in context. That means that it is as connected to the previous one (you can probably hear it) as it is to the next one. You even get a “glimpse” of what is to come at the end of this song, and it doesn’t sound as something pleasant. Oh, such a cliffhanger.
It is impossible though, for most you, to get this whole right now. There is still almost a month to go. But keep it in the back of your minds.
And it is of course not up to me to tell you how to listen to it or perceive it. But I must say to judge it by and comparing it to most other music nowadays (which is written mostly in a tried and tested, but also perhaps a bit uninteresting, pop-rock form) is to do it injustice. For example, you may already have noticed that there is a lack of refrain in both of the first songs. It could give a little hint of that the highs and lows on Ominous are not created in that way.
When Ominous is released I will send (at least) a signed CD and a shirt to the first one who can list at least 5 things of which I have taken into consideration when writing this record, from any of the fields of mathematics, psychology, philosophy or music-theory. It is quite challenging, yes. But I love it like that.
For the best experience you should get the LP with the big booklet, with the very nice artwork of Vladimir Chebakov, and the further explaining picture-texts. This is a story, connected in sound, word and vision. With though out precision.
