Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) I've found this Italian band occasionally on Facebook, because they recorded a great cover version of "Dust In The Wind" featuring Barbara Rubin on vocals and violin. The names Kerry Livgren and Barbara Rubin are always guarantees for good music, so I decided to find out what else "Jana Draka" have done so far. Well, the result exceeded my expectations by far! It's not just one of the numerous RPI bands rehashing the old 70's heritage. They've found their very own place in this honorable genre. Favorite track: Daydream.

Niccolò Clemente an astonishing good balanced first LP for this italian act. For all prog rock freaks absolutely a must-have, though everyone who loves music can find some moments of pleasure in this musical work. Favorite track: Limbo (Pt. 2).

Coming Home 08:12
I’m so afraid of this endless journey I need time to see reflections of those actions, boosted sensations of this consciousness that leads my mind through other spaces and other times, and other lives, and other whole dimensions! “Come back home” it whispers in my earless mind And so I realize: my time is running by “come back home” it tempts me during my sleepless dream My consciousness is calling, I fear the path to thee Come back home to me Time is overflowing Rushing through a dream, Listen to your Mind, you’re late Coming home, it seems the events flow’s reaction I want to leave this dream Don’t’ bother me, this moment’s not so far Infinite distortions in my mind Despair, desolation, my body is lost, my mind’s so far Spirit flies to the sky To my conception of reality I say goodbye I see visions of eternity beyond space and time I fly far beyond existence. Light crystallized in jems, true forms of themselves I think about my memory, trying to remember who I am. Without regrets, my journey begins. Come back home to me Time is overflowing Rushing through a dream, Listen to your Mind, you’re late Coming home, it seems the events flow’s reaction I want to leave this dream Don’t’ bother me, that moment’s now Coming home for me Is time within a stream An hourglass overflowing A whirlwind in a tree, Coming home to see The essence of inspiration My soul leaving its clay My body’s gone, my mind is free

Salem 03:52
Bishop Here, come and see the whore, worshipper of the devil, bringer of perdition, let her scream purge the night. I command you to leave this place In the name of god and the saints By the sword of St. Michael you will pay for your sins Turn on the Flame! I’m the holy slave of the Lord, listen to me, Burn now for me! Witch The failure of this people, the mistakes of human beings Are tales told long ago, tales written in books unseen. One told about an angel who fell for his betray, Who’s imprisoned in hell and fire I sing of ancient gods that nobody knows, I sing of damned men who read the Necronomicon. And you, sheeps and idiots acting as blind as bats I’ve seen above those trails, Reality’s not what you expect!

The Outsider 05:35
Cold and loneliness, Uncharted home. Left alone in the darkness No one to talk to, nowhere to go Trees, sorrow, these castle walls These empty rooms My sky’s a roof with flies as birds where spiderwebs are white clouds I’m stuck in prison Let me get out of here Help, please, let me escape
5.
Feelings Those words I’ve left unspoken through years Brother Lying in front of me, I can see your pain And truth is all I’d have loved to tell And keeping you closer was all I’ve ever truly needed (words) No longer spoken (you’re) No longer here (here) You left me broken (so) Why don’t you come back? A teary stream made by the sound of my heart shattered by your sleep I cry and sigh, And life’s just a mere ordeal A soul divided in two newborn brothers separated the burden of an ancient bond between you and me And life is a toss of coin lead by the force of future. we’ll meet in the hereafter. By a river’s shore or in another life. I’m alone.
6.
Please, wake up, I beg you. I still have memories to make Hear the call of my inner voice Just wake up and redeem my soul, I’m lost, I’m afraid… Are you perchance awake?

Carcosa 04:45
Take my hand, my heart and my fate Take the spirit of my cry before it’s too late And bring me home, To the place where I’m safe You lead me into the Storm Above the way and the path revealed Through skies and stars and much further I’ve come, my journey’s not over. Where the Satyrs dance, And the Ancient Gods rise, Scream your Real Name to the stars. Sacrifice yourself to the Yellow King, And Welcome to your Hometown. Frozen in my shell I bring The soul of the whole Creation Fascinating sins above the Black Tower Where I lived as a kid. This place you will find Unveiling the secret hidden into the stars. The sky is revolving again, It’s time to come back to your dreams Where the Satyrs dance, And the Ancient Gods rise, Scream your Real Name to the stars. Sacrifice yourself to the Yellow King, And Welcome to your Hometown.

Feelings lost scent of a memory that fades through silence, that fades though grey clouds stuck within the consciousness of the void inside my soul i search for sanity above the limits of this endless world painted by the imagery in your dark eyes while step by step through my thoughts i go i’ll tell the truth that i never knew if you were just a song written by some god
9.
Time relapses i feel quite strange no one’s talking here should i stay? my disillusion, my pain remains. “did my mind pulled out this vision?” i say… as day goes by the lights get dim and time goes back to my past. dancing i cry. a turn, another turn now, to a fair farewell. sinking into my footsteps i’ll walk ahead in my dreams the world looked limitless now it seems a cold empty cage. step by step, side by side my walk goes on untill i’ll lay and die as days go by my light gets dim as time comes back from my past dancing i cry a turn, another turn now to a fair farewell sinking ito my footsteps i walk ahead

Limbo (Pt.3) 05:47
TIME, DISTANCE waiting’s my chastisement FALL. SIN Truth TRUTH WE BOTH KNOW we both know we’re lines in sand erased. i was for you music and verse you were for me the light that made me see but now, as i fall, drowned by regrets for my sins i lay down i was the dirt that soiled your dreams

Daydream 04:36
Speachless This Feeling in my mind left me Speachless. It’s Astonishing to find that this isn’t real. A song sung by fairies. is this my mind? Where is my mind? Crushing My broken mind. I feel it is Crushing. God help me ‘cause this place just feels so real. The truth is that i’m just lost in here will I be found? My body floats around I’m watching places never seen by human kind I Fly. I’m going roundabout. This place is perfect I could watch it till i’m blind Where I am now? Those feelings i just found… I’m sure I’m dead and this is for sure the paradise. My thoughts are all around. Please, just don’t wake me ‘till I’ll no more hear this sounds. Sunlight comes slightly inside my blank eye. This sensation of a warm caress. is what i needed. But am i sure to leave this place? My body floats around I’m watching places never seen by human kind I Fly. I’m going roundabout. This place is perfect I could watch it till i’m blind Where I am now? Those feelings i just found… I’m sure I’m dead and this is for sure the paradise. My thoughts are all around. Please, just don’t wake me ‘till I’ll no more hear this sounds. Daydream hear me, I want to go back to my world

Awaken 03:53
Suffocating, burning, bleeding rape their spirit through your merciful fire, carve your name twice upon stone and skin, make them feel blamed of their pride. Awaken their time has passed by and Risen let this faceless kin leave their aimless lives Cut this web of blind lies, break the seal of illusionary sleep and the ones who observe will take the earth at least Reveal the ancient way beyond the Crimson Gate here we are waiting for your sign. Awaken their time has passed by and Risen let this faceless kin leave their aimless lives there’s no more time to hide (the Future of Mankind) Spread your wings It’s time to rise and shine

about

“Where the Journey Begins” is the first self-produced LP by Jana Draka. It is the result of two years of composition ad arrangement and represents a huge change of the band's style from Alternative to Progressive Rock, without losing the Lyrical and Narrative elements of their first release.
