Logosophia As a long time fan of GF, this as good or better than anything in their catalogue, consistently a treat from beginning to end. They have transmuted their experience of the tragedy of the situation in Ukraine into a transcendent masterpiece.

Dave Aftandilian As I look up at the stars my mind often drifts unmoored, wondering how many generations of people have looked at them before me, and how many will after I am gone. In this sense the stars connect me to many other people. Yet I also feel a sense of vast isolation and humility as the tiny spark that I am stares up into that immensity. Igor and Sergio’s keyboards and guitar make me think of all this, with special poignancy when the sparks of so many Ukrainian lives are being snuffed too early.

about

This album is a logical continuation of our 2021 work ‘Polaris’.
Here we explore space again and travel the galaxy through music and fantasy ‘To The Stars And Back’. Each track on this album is dedicated to different stars that have existed in the universe along with our planet for many millennia and will exist long after the end of our civilization. From here follows the main idea and philosophy of this release, which can be expressed in the words of the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus: everything flows, everything changes, everything passes.

The war in Ukraine made us rethink our lives, reevaluate our attitude to the world around us and ourselves, to look at our existence as a very short process, for which we would like to do so much. But in the context of the Universe and Time, our existence is petty, our being is perishable, our vanity is meaningless. The only thing we can do is not lose our humanity and try to live our lives in harmony with ourselves and the world around us in order to someday be reborn as stars in the sky.
