Well, this is actually my first full-length album on Jamendo. It's natural continuation of  "Game of Live"  but this time orienting not only on our lives but on our beliefs and knowledge too. Much of that following loose conceptual line of one serpent  of which we all three wrote our own variants (plus pair of my instrumentals). So this is one more loose conceptual album where you get best expiriance by listening all tracks in sequence. If you burn this on cd leave no pause between tracks.

Giant THANK YOU to Mary Cross and Ivan for enormous generosity with their time and creativity. Without them this album as it is would not be possible.

This indeed is a brilliant album, agree a lot with ivan and doc concerning such works that go far beyond commercial first-gain views, Starts wonderful with a perfect combination of prose, chant and music, track two is a cinematic masterpiece, with modest means a huge impact is realised. Insomniac gives a desperate feel, wonderfully caught. The idea of a concept-album works wonders here, with every minute a diversification and attention that is highly rewarding. The minimalistic but very melodic approach is great, with natural contributions of all three artists. Ivans's serpent gives a magnificent centerpoint from where the album broadens to artistic and very entertaining highlights in every spectre of the musical richness we can live in nowadays. For a first album this is extremely well done, highly recommendable for free musical spirits, in fact one big advocation for the musicscene that is present nowadays and free available for all who can and want to hear.... Congratulations with this masterpiece. it tranced my life :)

As I put it in a title this is your most mature and complete work. Functions good for concentrated premeditated earphone listening and as muzak for work. Like concept, Mary's and Ivan voices works well together.
Not sure 'bout "a lot of styles". Some listening it works fine and I like differences, sometime I felt like I miss some more consistency.

Like very much Insomniac, Shine and Rue Mariette. You would like rue Garnier more.

Like less fillers. You know them.

This album is quite mystical in atmosphere. It is as if the music is the composer's sermons to us. Different.

... for bringing me in on this project, Cvijaxo. It is artful, mythical, well-written, nicely-produced, and aptly titled. :) Bravo.

Dark and minimalistic, but deep and writhing with serpents and poetic protest against the human condition, lost and mapless since the Fall.
A great voice has Mary Cross and what poetry and music the three have produced (Cvijaxo, Ivan1984, and Mary) as to be profound, moving and frightening. "Noah's Raven", with quotes about the power and evils of knowledge, was earth shattering. Deep moaning and groaning, almost Hellish in nature, emanate from "In Cities(Suburbia3)." Music styles and genres do vary from track to track but maintain the standard set by the style of the artists.
The style of this experimental kind of album is Avant garde as it pushes the boundaries of our musical expectations. I enjoyed the experience of listening, visualizing, reading, and interpreting this work and am very impressed by the thoughtful care taken to compose and create this work of art.
Standing and applauding. Lots of applauding.

An excellently well composed and produced album, and by composed I also refer to the overall sense of a subtle energy captured and embedded throughout this great album. It feels that it has good poise and such composure. Wonderful creativity and a big thanks for sharing Cvijaxo.

Congratulations to Cvijaxo for producing what must be one of the most interesting and inspired concept albums of 2009!

It is a real pleasure to hear music that has some serious artistic and philosophical ambitions behind it, especially when the implementation has been so successful. Ivan and Mary are doing a great job as contributors, and Cvijaxo's own musical and production work is excellent. The narrative elements remind me of some of the more ambitious progressive projects from the 70s (e.g. Rick Wakeman's Journey to the Centre of the Earth) – but in this modern age you can build with a computer just as interesting soundscapes as you could do then with a symphony orchestra.

The album is full of ideas and nice production detail, being a very visual story and adventure. This kind of works take a lot of time and mental investment from the producer, and I can say that the time has been well spent. The album is also another proof of how potent the free music scene has become in artistic terms. The commercial labels operating in their short attention span FM playlist world would have a high threshold to publish an album like this even from a well-known artist. What was possible in the commercial music world in the 1970s is no more possible – the most fertile ground for serious artistic creation has already moved over to the free music scene.
