All right...this one. A variation on the title has been in my mind for years now, but I didn't find a piece of music that fit the phrase until now. I suppose this is a bit of a political/"we're killing the planet" sort of song...a fatalistic sort of perspective, but still...
Musically, this is also a slight nod/tribute to the late Jóhann Jóhannsson, whose music has brought so much pleasure to my life. That's a whole boatload of melancholy for just one song but...I suppose it worked out OK. I'm certainly fairly proud of how this song turned out.
In terms of the music, the original riff happened by accident while noodling around with a Linnstrument and the Deckard's Dream in MPE mode. I also obtained a Haken Continuum around this time, and it was used to create the soft melodies at the very end of the song.

Among the best instrumental prog albums I've heard: brilliant musicianship, lots of light and shade; will appeal to heavy Rockers as well as symphonic proggers - love it! Phil Jackson

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John
