	A'arab Zaraq - Lucid Dreaming - 1997

Info from booklet: So... 10 years have passed since I formed a band called Blitzkrieg back in 1987. This band later changed their name and became Therion, did some demos, got a record-deal, changed members,made some more albums and finally ended up as we are today. A lot of Things have happened musically,from being a death metal band to an avantgarde symphonic/orchestral/operatic metal band. And who knows where we will go next? Whereever our path might lead to, I hope that the considerable amount of fans that have been so incredibly openminded and enjoyed all new musical directions through the years till now,and of course all our new fans as well, will be with us in the future too. This is, as you probably already have understuud by now, not the new Therion album. It's indeed a new Therion release, but instead of new material it contains previously unreleased material, covers anda new instrumental version of "Symphony of the Dead". As we are kind of "celebrating" a 10 year anniversary(who gives a fuck aout time anyway?) we are releasing these cover versions of our faveourite bands as a present to ourselves. For YOU we have collected some material that was never meant to be released, donesome new exclusive recordings, involved my soundtrack for an art-movie and included some unusual thingswith the CD package (like the complete notes for all choir singing to the soundtrack). A common giftfrom us and our superb record company Nuclear Blast records. From the "Theli" recording session at Impuls Music Studios, Germany Jan-March 1996 Some stuff that didn't fit on "Theli", was originally to be released as a CD-single. But as the idea to make this collection CD began to grow, we decided to go for this idea instead. 1. In Remembrance (Melberg/Johnsson) 2. Black Fairy (European metal version) (Johnsson) 3. Fly to the Rainbow (Schenker/Roth - originally performed by Scorpions 1974) Christofer Johnsson: guitar / hammond organ / keyboards Piotr Wawrzeniuk: drums / vocals of "Fly to the rainbow" Jonas Mellberg: guitar / keyboard on "In Remembrance" Lars Rosenberg: bass Dan Swano: vocals on "In Remembrance" and "Black Fairy" Produced Jan-Peter Genkel, Gottfried Koch and Therion. Recording session at Abyss Studio, Sweden, June 1996. We were in there to record a cover of "Children of the Damned" (1982) for an Iron Maiden tribute. We took the opportunity and added some extra money from our own pockets to record one more cover, which happened to be a tune we've played live for some time and we wanted tohave on tape just for ourselves. That made us have a more light attitude on it and we basicly recordedit live in the studio, starring Tobbe Sidegard (Necrophobic, Sin) on lead vocals and in the end we even mixed it (ironically) as a fake live song. 4. Children of the Damned (Steve Harris - originally performed by Iron Maiden 1982) 5. Under Jolly Roger (Rock'n Rolf - originally performed by Running Wild 1987) Christofer Johnsson: guitar Piotr Wawrzeniuk: drums / vocals of "Children of the Damned" Lars Rosenberg: bass Tobbe Sidegard: vocals on "Under Jolly Roger" Peter Tagtgren: additional lead guitars on "Under Jolly Roder" (2:nd and 4:th) Produced by Therion and Peter Tagtgren. Recording session at Impuls Music Studios, Germany Dec 1996. This was recorded after deciding that we should do this CD. We wanted to redo one more old track, but it didn't sound the way we wanted so we dropped it and did a cover of a very oldand not so fameous Judas Priests song instead. 6. Symphony of the Damned (re-recorded shortened instrumental version) (Johnsson) 7. Here Comes the Tears (Halford/Tipton - originally performed by Judas Priest 1976) Christofer Johnsson: guitar / bass / keyboard Piotr Wawrzeniuk: drums / vocals Gottfried Koch: acoustic guitar on "Here comes the Tears" Produced by Christofer Johnsson and Gottfried Koch. Therionized highlights from "A'arab Zaraq Lucid Dreaming", recording sessionat Impuls Music Studios, Germany Dec 1996: This is somekind of covers of the soundtrack, recorded at the same time as the songs above.We used all the original recordings and simply added drums, bass and guitar upon it. I basicallyjammed all the guitars in the studio, which made a contrast to the organised and 100% earlierprepared classical arrangements. 8. Enter Transcedental Sleep (Johnsson) 9. The Quiet Desert (Johnsson) 10. Down the Qliphotic Tunnel (Johnsson) 11. Up To Netzach / Floating Back (Johnsson) Produced by Christofer Johnsson and Gottfried Koch. Christofer Johnsson: guitar / bass Piotr Wawrzeniuk: drums Gottfried Koch: acoustic guitar on "Up to Netzach". A'arab Zaraq Lucid Dreaming (original soundtrack from "Golden Embrace" Art Movie 1997). This is not a Therion recording. It's a soundtrack I've done as a solo artist for an art movieentitled "The Golden Embrace". I always wanted to do something like this and I an very pleased to offer this as a bonus on this CD. It's pure classical music (an Oratorium), but I hope that some of you will enjoy it anyway. 12. The Fall Into Eclipse (Johnsson) 13. Enter Transcedental Sleep (Johnsson) 14. The Gates To A'arab zaraq Are Open (Johnsson) 15. The Quiet Desert (Johnsson) 16. Down the Qliphotic Tunnel (Johnsson) 17. Up to Netzach (Johnsson) 18. Floating Back (johnsson) Produced by Christofer Johnsson and Gottfried Koch. All choir and solo opera singing on this album were done by: Bettina Stumm - soprano Raphaela Mayhaus - soprano Marie-Therese Kubel - alto Ergin Onat - tenor Klaus Bulow - bass Joachim Gebhardt - bass All fiddles, 1:st and 2:nd violins, violas, violin cellis, double basses (kontra basses),flutes, oboes, english horns, bassoons, french horns, trumpets, trombones,tubas, concert snareand timpanis on this album were made by the Barmbek Symphonic Orchestra (concert cymbals, tambourine, harpsichord and some fast strings done by samples). All grand piano played by C. Johnsson and G. Koch Art, design, photo and lay-out: P GRON Thanx to Nuclear Blast, Per Albinsson, all contributing musicians, Gottfried + the rest at ImpulsStudio and especially all the fans that have supported us through the years till now. "It's not an easy task to give a complete definition of what "The Golden Embrace" is all about, But the main concept is based around four different characters, all searching for somethingwithin their human nature that they cannot find. Not a single word is spoken during their separate journeys in this art movie, but the mystical and atmospheric emotions of the scenes are accompanied by majestic music all the way until the story reaches its climax. The entire production is signed to Per Albinsson, who is a yound swedish director, armed with a fascination for the darker side of life,which leaves its mark on most of his work. "The Golden Embrace" is no exception..." To order a videocopy of "The Golden Embrace", send 100 S-Kr (Scandinavia), 30 DM or equal in any currency(Europe) or 20$ (Overseas) to: Per albinsson Brantabacksgatan 19 531 33 Lidkoping SWEDEN
