Album Notes & Community Reviews

The debut of Richard Lederer's one man project grew from the tracks he wrote after acquiring his first synthesiser, split by style: the classical pieces fed Summoning and Die Verbannten Kinder Evas, the electronic ones became Ice Ages, with Lederer performing every instrument. Summoning's 'Over Old Hills', from 'Dol Guldur', is based on this album's 'Trapped and Scared'.
