History
The album brings another part of the group's songs from their first three albums and the band's fifth album, once again featuring a partnership between the original members of the band, some guest musicians and the Slovenian Symphonic Film Orchestra.[2] It was announced on the group's social media on May 10, 2021 and has as its lead single the song ''Say You Love Me'', a song that originally came from the group's fifth album The Light at the End of the World in 1995.[3]
In an interview with vocalist Mike Score, it was revealed that this album came after a request from the record company to choose which new songs would be featured on this new compilation of orchestral songs.[4][5] As with Ascension, the orchestral arrangements do not deviate from the originals but serve to "[give] them a new vibe."[6]
The promotional video was recorded by August Day Records with dancers as well as the band's vocalist, the single was released on July 1, 2021.[3] The album was officially released on August 20, 2021, on digital platforms such as Deezer, Spotify and also in physical versions that are sold on Amazon and on the band's and record label's own website.[7]
