Did you ever want to make a journey aboard a comet our Solar System? If yes, then switch on the A Comet's Tale CD, sit comfortably, and you're on your way! With this music by Ronin we'll ride a comet from the depths of space to the sun, and then will fly away to the endless universe. We will fly past all the planets of the Solar System, stopping for a while near each of them and observing patiently these satellites of our sun...

The music of A Comet's Tale is a mixture of meditative keyboards of Rick Wakeman with serene electronic sounding of Aeoliah. The last seventeen-minutes long track Reprise has reminded me the Pinta, Nina, Santa Maria (Into Eternity) from the famous album 1492 by Vangelis.

The interesting facts, that Ronin actively uses advantages of the "Internet" global network. In June 1996, selections from A Comet's Tale together with fragments of his debut album Inspirations were presented in the Internet, so that listeners around the world could get acquainted with the music. Ronin is the first independent artist to have pulled off a launch of this sort. He considers that "The Internet is the wave of today. As an independent, I can have the same access to people as a multinational company".

A Comet's Tale is like a flight from the present to the unknown future. The musician tells about his works the following: "With each CD I want to move more into the future... . I don't know what the future will bring, but it is certainly going to be an exciting adventure". This CD by Ronin is an ideal background music. With this music it is very good to relax, make massage and make love. Many doctors can use A Comet's Tale in their therapeutic practice. To my mind, warm and optimistic music by Ronin is especially suitable for psychotherapeutic groups.

If you are fired and wishing to relax, don't hesitate to switch on A comet's Tale and start a journey through Ronin's musical universe!
