Genre: Electronic
Label: CYBER10 Net-Label
Language: English, French, Portuguese
Cover Art: Taken by the Romantic artist Anton Melbye, the art is named \"Ships at the Sea\" (1867)
Other details: The album was produced with very simple equipment and no pitch software were used for voices or back vocals, which were all recorded by Emerson Olaf without voices or choir samples.
Artist Comments: \"I consider this a simple album technically saying, but an album full of ideas replete with applied philosophy coming from a view of the world which take its roots on traditionalist conservatism. Regarding genre and style, the general result of Epic Church if one mix up all its songs would be a kind of medieval Depeche Mode in an Euro-Mix. The project might be placed on Synthpop or even Electro-Rock, maybe the so called Futurepop and there is still a less used tag named Medieval-Electro in which we would fit. Highborn Spirit is clearly an escape from the liberal modern world, a return to old values, at the same time not denying technology, because if we did so, we wouldn't be here on internet publishing electronic music.\"
Track 01: Benedicamus Domino
Composer: Anonymous (medieval)
Style: Medieval-Electro
Track 02: Memories and Dreams
Composer: Emerson Olaf
Style: Electro Rock
Lyrics:
Would the dreamer in you
Be proud of what you've done,
Be proud of what you are today?
Treasures of yesterday buried too deep
The real essence is now lost
-Chorus-
Memories, a reviving of the past, getting back to golden times
Remembrances of dreams to save us from despair
Memories and dreams
Welcome to a rotten world
Where vanity is the key
Where selfishness is the main rule
Empty minds, liberals
Heading to destruction
An inevitable collapse
Take us back to a world
Where values build a noble man
A light for tomorrow
Track 03: Counter-Revolutionary
Composer: Emerson Olaf
Style: Electro Rock
Lyrics:
All we say
All we do
Makes us what we are
A better choice
The hardest move
You have to sacrifice
The modern beast
Of selfishness
Lies and says you're free
But deep inside
You really know
The way you have to be
-Chorus-
All feelings in your heart
All memories that you've got
The gift you must hold dear
The existence
Of your soul
Trials to
Be alive
To fly against the wind
It is hard
To keep the fight
Opposite the world
Material thoughts
To break the faith
You ought to resist
The Truth is there for you
You know it
Track 04: Belle Qui Tiens Ma Vie
Composer: Thoinot Arbeau
Style: Medieval-Electro
Lyrics: (only the first verse of the original)
Belle qui tiens ma vie
Captive dans tes yeusse,
Qui m'as l’âme ravie
D'un sourire gracieusse,
Viens tôt me secourir
Ou me faudra mourir.(bis)
Track 05: Endlessly
Composer: Emerson Olaf
Style: Gothic Synthpop
Lyrics:
The World,
You feel
That you are set apart
nothing can heal
nothing satisfies
Your hopes
Your thoughts
Are always far away
Misplaced
Mistakes
All I see
-Chorus-
Endlessly
I will be
So distant in a dream
I might see
I might find
The destiny of my life
Then I'll raise
Then I'll feel
The joy of something new
It always
Will be with me
The fear
Has come
When solitude comes takes its place
The time you wish
You were taken away
There is no way
to adapt yourself to this world
believe, preserve your soul
Track 06: Strike The Viol
Composer: Henry Purcell
Style: Medieval-Electro
Track 07: Conquest
Composer: Emerson Olaf
Style: Electro Rock
Lyrics:
And then comes the invitation
Which would change his life forever
Invited to a journey to a new world
An enormous pain he felt while looking to his daughter's eyes
