Frontman Hansi Kursch says: "The story begins with our 1995 album Imaginations From The Other Side. The two worlds described have changed dramatically for the worse since then. While there used to be several passages between the worlds, there is only one gate left now: The Red Mirror."

Choirs from Prague, Budapest and Boston feature on the album, along with two orchestras - and guitarist Andre Olbrich says they decided to work with so many musicians as they wanted to keep moving their sound forward.
