Stormhorse

`Stormhorse' was the album that allowed ITN to develop the orchestral influences taken on board for `Twins'. In total contrast to the contemporary music of the time, ITN produced a fluid soundtrack to an imaginary film. Recorded at the original FON studios in Sheffield, the album also premiered the inclusion of friends and future collaborators, vocalist Dolores Marguerite C. and percussionist `Q'.

Mistakenly referred to as `Stormhouse' on a number of occassions - the album created a great deal of interest, if only in anticipation of seeing the film itself. But `Stormhorse' remains as it was intended - an imaginary film for each individual listener.

Man has to believe in myths. Like wisdom, myths foretell the destiny of man. Imagine a lonely boy, with a "Song of Destiny" on his lips, and the "Deathwatch" in his eyes.
