Fritz's notes about the album
After deciding to do an album based on the story of POMPEII, it was not
an easy to gather value - able information for an inside look on those
dreadful events that took place almost two thousand years ago. Most of
the books on POMPEII read novel-like and describe cultural, political
and social backgrounds of life at that time and place. Knowing the
unpossibility to include all this in one album, I concentrated on what
seemed obviously most important - the earthquake 62 a.d. and the final
destruction seventeen years later.
Consequently, the idea of the album turned into a fact-fiction-fact
story - the facts building the frame for fictions little stories that
are related to POMPEII, however, they might be looked at individually.
During the six month of recording and two month of preparations there
were enough times when the spirit of this album was about to overtake -
it almost collapsed.
There were a lot of people that helped to keep it going, and there were
a lot that tried the opposite. - Pressure sometimes frees unknown
strength. It did. That is why I am thankful to these people. All of
them.
