It's like taking a guided tour of the Scottish Highlands with a legendary prog-rocker as your pilot.

A serene and misty journey through ancient landscapes, rendered with modern precision and deep melodic warmth.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition in 'Mont St. Michel' where the intimate folk melody expands into a massive orchestral swell.
The way the lead guitar mimics the ornamentation of a tin whistle on 'She Moves Through the Fair'.
The haunting, sustained notes of 'Dark Island' that feel like they are echoing across a wide body of water.
