Take a three-dimensional trip into the subconscious:
"Empire of Illusions" deals with the dreams and dream worlds, that we create each night in our sleep. When we sleep, the controlling consciousness of our mind isn't totally aware, allowing things from the subconscious, quick associations or hidden thoughts to appear uncensored. We experience a world that seems strange and foreign but also well-known at the same time.

Your journey through the Empire of Illusions will take you through different musical worlds: whirling sequences, haunting voices, dreamy melodies, nature's sounds, lively rhythms and meditative soundscapes.

Because of the new 3D-recording technique used here, you can experience this fascinating world with just normal stereo-headphones. Take a dive into this acoustic hologram !

„...One of the best sounding album...an accoustic hologram...Impressive!“ (Backgrounds 75)
„...a fascinating listening experience...in sound on one level with Enigma and Oldfield but much more imagination...Palantír presents a little miracle.“ (Keyboards 12/2000)
