about

Thousands of years from now, on the planet Destiny, an archaeologist has unearthed an ancient tome during a dig at one of the planet’s ancient ruins. Written in a language unlike any currently in use on the planet, he has worked alone for years to decipher the unknown language within the book, all while trying to keep his findings secret. Finally, late one night, he solves the mystery and, in the process, unlocks a new mystery, shattering everything that planet Destiny knew about humanity’s beginnings on their planet. Knowing that this could merely be ancient mythology, but hoping there is truth in this tome, he rushes in the middle of the night to find his friend, a professor of astronomy at a local university, at a local bar, the only person he has told about his find. Our archaeologist hopes to enlist his help in locating the planet where the ancient tome says that humanity began, so he can travel there to find the truth. His friend implores him to stay, but after continued refusals, he reluctantly helps. They vow to keep the book and planet secret until they know the truth. But all is not what it seems…

lyrics

I came right here
Because I solved the mystery
Of that ancient tome
It tells of a world lost to history

That world was our home
We started there you see
A secret so powerful
We’re going back, it’s destiny

A planet far beyond our star
How can that be home
I’ve never seen it before
A planet far beyond our star
How can this be home
How did we come so far
A planet far beyond our star

Their world was no more
Scorched land and dried up sea
Sunset of civilization
Sunrise they did not see

They voyaged through the stars
To this land we call home
But that's where the story ends
Are we now all alone?

Their secrets we do not know
Are we us, or are we them
Are the stories true
Will we ever know, when

Please help me find their coordinates
For this voyage home
Maybe some survived
We don’t have to be alone

A planet far beyond our star
How can that be home
How did we come so far
A planet far beyond our star
How can this be home
I’ve never seen it before
A planet far beyond our star

They were weak
They ran from their home
To their new world
And left us on our own

On a dying world
We struggled to survive
From billions to a few
They thought that we would die

But after millions of years
We rebuilt our world
To punish those who left
And take this galaxy

Our message spreads far and wide
Across the planets and the stars
A place of refuge awaits
The great Voyage Home

This is a treat for the ears. The fluidity of the performances and the dedication to the compositions is top notch - and this is music from almost 2 decades ago being revisited and recrafted. Brilliant! Wonderful performances by Antony and Max Velychko. Peace & prosperity be upon them & all those they hold dear. Steven Andrew Mazzone

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
