"JOURNEY" is a long instrumental track (25 mn) in the pure tradition of progressive-rock. Think of Pink Floyd's Echoes or Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells and other epic albums for our song format (not the style which is ours).
Do you think you could take the time to savor all the richness of our song? We bet that there is an audience for such ambitious pieces. Prove us that we're not wrong
Various moments in our song from space music, medieval mood, electro-dance, world music and even jazz. All instruments are played by Yvalain Debodinance (France), wind instruments by Juha Hintikka (Finland), and in the final of the song Remco Heemskerk played a guitar solo.
The album b-side presents more rich and passionate compositions recorded with the great help of Peter Murr and Remco Heemskerk. All songs were recorded between 2016 and 2024.

Yvalain & Juha Hintikka - Archaeology
Yvalain: "My partners know how long it takes me to really be satisfied with my mixes and with the sounds. As time runs I always find something that does not sound right to my ears. My mixing technique evolved in time, I acquired new techniques and new software tools to improve the sound. The temptation was big - and I could not resist - to reopen my old recordings and try to make them sound better. The official published discography is the result of this years-lasting process. But it's fun to display once more the original covers. Indeed when the albums were reworked, they were restructured with different track-lists and the old covers did not seem good enough. So here we go, let's open my archives 🤓"
