Firebrand (2008)

 
Front Cover Our second album, Firebrand, represents new compositions from 2002-8. Most of the new compositions are folk fantasy, mixing folk and Renaissance harmonic styles with a mixture of speculative subjects, many with elemental or fantasy-exotic themes.

All the recordings on Firebrand were newly created for it.

Purchase:

We later created a companion album for Firebrand, Eclectic II: Propheices and Lies.  Between them, these two contain all the best recordings of our pieces released to-date.  If you want to obtain a comprehensive collection of our releases, we recommend purchasing these two albums.
