An eclectic blend of musical styles, this album marked the beginning of Midnight Syndicate’s quest to create “soundtracks for the imagination.” Although selections range from instrumental and electronic to rap, rock, and new age, many of the tracks served as the foundational milestones that set the stage for the band’s signature dark orchestral sound. Tracks like Enchanted Nursery, Darkfolk, Theme to The Dead Matter, Druids, and Theme to Journey Into Dementia were later reimagined and re-recorded on Born of the Night and Out of the Darkness. Additionally, a live version of Hellacious Acres (the partial inspiration for Haverghast Asylum) ultimately became Sleep Tight on Gates of Delirium.

While currently out of print and unavailable on streaming platforms, original physical CD copies remain an archival collector’s item. As an interesting excursion into the formative period of the band, persistent fan interest in the record has fueled recent talks of a potential re-release.
