“Midnight In Swampland” is based on the memories of my childhood and youth which I spent in the marshlands along the river Danube. Its untouched, mysterious scenery is very similar to the swamps of Louisiana. Inhope we have succeded in capturing the mystic and impenetrable beauty of this landscape on this track. It would be a pity if such a wonderful landscape had to disappear one day.
