Wondrous End by FAUN 98
This release is from the progressive rock band FAUN up until 1998 and is not related to the later pagan folk band of the same name. To avoid confusion we call ourselves FAUN 98 here.

It was recorded mostly live at the atmospheric vaulted cellar of Bechtolsheimer Hof in Würzburg on January 31st, 1998.
