FOR THE LOVE OF ART AND THE MAKING

More than 16 years have passed since its release, and this work of art is still fresh and exciting. A perfect mix of creativity and intuition. The album never made me say, "Hey, this part could've been better...", or even "Hey, awesome, but..."

This masterpiece is vastly intricate, labyrinthine, complex; yet it still flows mesmerizingly. An adventurous trip inside the peculiarly dark (with a twilight glow) intellect of the band's mastermind: Finn Zierler. It is actually like a "twilightning"; not because of the fact that the album's duration is short, but because it dispreads a zigzagged line through the sky, none of whose transition points gives a disjointed feeling. What makes this different from a lightning is that, some shadowy phenomena can/'t be observed within this zone. Anyway, all the constituents in the album were so craftily appended that you'd do anything not to lose a piece of this puzzle. A bedazzling experience is granted, nor is this all, one is also granted with the key(s) to be able to get away from this maze. Do you have a clue? If not, you can use those keys to unlock the mysteries inside this labyrinth. I personally wouldn't mind doing that forever!

FtLoAatM is so timeless and rejuvenative that, the genius Finn Zierler's inactivity to produce further stuff (albeit except for his "solo" album: ESC) or his decision to discontinue Beyond Twilight aren't posing a real problem.

As I always say: It is always better to produce nothing if you don't feel like doing it, or if you don't feel motivated and inspired enough (and also if you happen to decide doing "djent", hahah).

Art for art's sake, for fuck's sake!

P.S. I'll always be delighted to hear new stuff by F. Zierler, but even if he decides not to produce anything anymore, I still thank him wholeheartedly for creating some of the most stellar albums ever; the most prominent of which is this final Beyond Twilight album. Or is this really the "Finale"?..

Impeccable craftsmanship
