"Here is No Life Without a Fire" was recorded in the taiga forest during the frosty winternight time,
when temperature is below -25C. That piece shows that life of a man in the such a cold regions is absolutely
depends from the fire. It gives to a man a hope & life, without it he's dead in few hours... It's a hymn to fire.

"Lost in Catacombs" was recorded during snowy december 2007. Most sounds are from enclosed big metallic
tank wich is used a long time ago for water keeping. This vessel is located pretty far away from civilization
and in the nighttime an ambient atmosphere here is a magnificent!

"Through The Snowfield " is a track which is describing a blank feelings of a men, who is riding on a horse
through endless snowy fields... The sound of the small bells is coming from a neck of a coachman's horse,
and these bells are just like a lighthouse for a ship in the storm.
They are only way to know where your horse are when a blizzard start to blow...
That piece is about a solitude & loneliness of a soul.
There is also a fragment of russian folklore song in it.

"Odinokaya Garmon'"" it's a russian folklore song
