A concept album about man’s fascination with flight. The vocalization by Lonnie Park adds a unique signature sound to the high energy sound of the group’s music.

"Aviation is proof that given the will, we have the capacity to achieve the impossible." Eddie Rickenbacker

01. Home In The Sky

“To most people, the sky is the limit. To those who love aviation, the sky is home” Jerry Crawford

02. Beyond The Atmosphere

“Man must rise above the Earth—to the top of the atmosphere and beyond—for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives.” Socrates

03. Ocean of Air

“Unlike the boundaries of the sea by the shorelines, the “ocean of air” laps at the border of every state, city, town and home throughout the world.” Welch Pogue

04. Gravity (feat. Vahagn Stepanyan)

“The secret of flight is this – you have to do it immediately, before your body realizes it is defying the laws.” Michael Cunningham

05. Shadows

“You haven’t seen a tree until you’ve seen its shadow from the sky.” Amelia Earhart

06. To Be A Bird

“Gliders, sailplanes, they are wonderful flying machines. It’s the closest you can come to being a bird.” Neil Armstrong

07. Never Touch The Ground

“Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” Douglas Adams

08. Leap of Faith

“He who leaps for the sky may fall, it's true. But he may also fly” Lauren Oliver

09. Pilot

“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.” Michael Althsuler

10. First Flight

“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” Leonardo da Vinci

11. Bird On A Wire (Song For Mo)

“I always wonder why birds stay in the same place when they can fly anywhere on the earth. Then I ask myself the same question” Harun Yahyu

12. Dreams (feat. Vahagn Stepanyan)

“When fears are grounded, dreams take flight.” Anon

13. Imagine

"Flying is done largely with the imagination” Wolfgang Langwiesche
