Additional notes
Recorded at Stockholm Recording, June / July 1989.
Concept album, about a man who falls asleep under an oak tree and dreams about the journey of life.
"Under the Oak" is a re-recording of a song that originally appeared on "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus" (and also the "Tales of Creation" demo -see bonus reissue disc).
Leif Edling originally wanted another Thomas Cole painting for the cover, but his bandmates "talked him out of it". A modified Gustave Doré work called 'The Creation of Light' was used instead.
"Into the Unfathomed Tower" is divided into 7 parts:
I. Dance of the Fay
II. Magic / Entering the Tower
III. Dance of the Fay (Reprise)
IV. Soul's Flight
V. Towards the Unknown
VI. Choir of Angels
VII. Outside the Gates of Heaven
