Few albums like this one have made us jump out of our seats and giggle: "OH YES!". Graham Simpson, the author of the beautiful "Electrical Storm at the Micro-Station" published by HDK in 2024, returns with an epic, powerful, and terribly evocative concept.

"Mythology" - as its author states - manifests his devotion to the history of soundtracks for fantasy cinema: from the colossal films of the 50s with the music of Miklos Rozsa, to the Italian Sword & Sandal films of the 60s, from the soundtracks of Basil Poledouris, Vangelis and Trevor Jones to television series such as "Masters of the Universe" or "Xeena: Warrior Princess".

"Mithology" contains a mini gamebook, the first issue of the "28-pages deadly quest" series entitled "The Fortress": a short but risky quest in which the reader is the protagonist, inspired by interactive literature of the 80s (the "Fighting Fantasy" series by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone, the beloved "Lone Wolf" by Dever & Chalck, the "Endless Quest" D&D series...) and by the brain-bending text adventures of the first home computers such as the ZX Spectrum and the Apple II (Melbourne House's "The Hobbit" or the adventures of the legendary Infocom).
