lyrics
Journey To The East
I saw the birth of the morning, whilst children played and danced.
They saw no evil, the felt no evil, their land was awash with light.
They’d breath and a million stars, would sparkle on the strength of their sight.
Age would only specify, passion could only typify, the love of their love.
Tears of true joy could only, fall from eyes of one so young.
A head full of colour despises all gloom. Cast care all burden, for those who have room.
Laughter would cascade and ripple, along arbors of deathless trees.
Battles won and battles lost, all change; the game and the roles reversed.
Surface tension paid false respects, on the graves of an age of man.
Their visions plagued a higher world. Twin worlds of happiness and peace.
One young man was dreaming, but that was’nae the thing to do.
Witness number one world collapse into number two.
Fairytales are the mother of the character, they lend a hand to inspire.
Out of the woods came the beasties.
They dwell in number one world, not in number two.
How sharp is the night air, it cuts the world in two.
Soon ’twill be morning, then the dancing is up to you.
Catch the sunshine, catch the rainbow,
Watch the rain from Heaven fall.
See the colour of the sky, turn a hundred hues.
The sea was caught dreaming,
Under a sun-kissed sky.
Thank an enterprising man,
For time lent scheming.
And people of the valleys have vision,
Have purpose, have Heaven.
And so now they have freedom of choice.
To explore the confines of their own reality.
It’s clear that they have not the vision,
To see the course of the past,
The ruin of the present, the distance of future.
The course of their material bodies,
Enters the void.
Castanarc consists of keyboard player David Powell, singer Mark Holiday and producer John Spence supplemented by regular guest musicians Charlie Morgan on drums, Pete Robinson on bass and Neil Duty and Pat Mount on guitars.

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS!

It's all a matter of taste. I love this album. I love it's serenity, the beautiful instrumentation, orchestration and the great production. Ambient is not my cup of tea either, but this album crosses the borders of ambient music and prog. In other words: an awesome album! Martin Melis

Although the 3 guest vocalists on this album sing wonderfully, and the songs are diverse and creative, I still prefer the voice of Peter Falconer. Still, I highly recommend this album, aware that my preference is somewhat of a bias. Some of the guitar playing on here is incredible. Despite the new vocalists, the sound of this album is still distinctly Drifting Sun. Personally, I give it 7.5/10. Alrihkh
