Universe was always my reason to reflect. Once I understood as far as Universe is huge and complex. This understanding impress me unbelievable. And impression turned into inspiration.

I started to work on this when "Northern dancer" not finished yet. I didn't try commercially successful album, just reflected my own feelings in sounds. I was really obsessed. Ultimately I created something, that didn't found the response from the listeners. Most people percieve music as entertainment. Who can afford to spend time indulging "frivolous fantasys"?  This album rested on my hard disk some years.

In 2007 new soundproducer Konstantin Shilovsky ( soundcloud.com/calopteryx ) joined me and "Time is up". He was fond of cosmos and universe too. Konstantin felt the idea and made some tracks' mixing and mastering, bringing his fresh ideas.

Unfortunately album was never finished.
