As cold and darkness once again descends upon Northern Europe we huddle within the walls of our confines, creep up to fireplaces and hide under thick blankets. Those who brave the foreboding climate and venture outside into the blackness find a nocturnal world under heavy clouds, or perhaps find themselves under the scrutinizing gaze of the coldest of piercing starlight.
"The Nightquest Sessions", an enigmatic dream by itself, is a trusty partner under these circumstances. The creeping blackness that surrounded you a minute ago suddenly begins to give way and then invites you into an eerie beauty and sense of belonging. The album was originally released as a DIY CDr in 1998 and follows a path similar to that of The Darklight Quest album.
