They say: In the continuing style of his bestselling album Moonlore. the theme of Llewellyn's new album is about a young druid woman who crosses over into the Otherworld via a fine myst of fog. Her journey leads her into the Summerlands - a magical realm where Merlyn takes her to meet Cerridwen - Queen of the Moon - in a beautiful crystal castle that resides in a purple myst on the mystical island of Avalon. Inspired by the imagery of the classic novel by Marion Zimmer Bradley, Llewellyn's Mysts of Avalon takes the listener away into the romantic and magical world of the Celts. It combines Llewellyn's unique keyboards with Uilleann Pipes, Celtic Whistles, Guitars, Piano, Flutes and Skin drums. Mvsts of Avalon also features Chris Conway on celtic flutes and the beautiful angelic voice of Juliana.

"Many of us believe that the Otherworld is not somewhere far away, but is in fact very close at hand. It exists in parallel with the everyday World and we can visit it in dreams or meditation. This lyrical music can help you make this journey, carrying you across the lake into the Otherworld - into a realm of peace and serenity. If you listen carefully, and close your eyes, you might even hear the soft waves of the lake lapping on the far shore." Philip Carr-Gomm, author of The Druid Mysteries.
