For The Love Of Art And The Making (Beyond Twilight´s third release) is the most mysterious and complex concept album in music history.

I´ve been several months puzzling about it, and I think I´ve found something.

IMHO, this masterpiece develops 6 CONCEPTS, or layers of concepts, simultaneously:

- A first meaning (MYTH), with a storybook that continues where Section X ended, relating a "virtual descent to Hell" somehow inspired in Orpheus and Eurydice and the legend of Ariadne, the Labyrinth and the Minotaur.

- Three more meanings (RITE), in witch the structure of the album is related to that of an initiation rite, musical creation and BDSM.

- A fifth meaning (MEMORY) that shows us Beyond Twilight´ history, in the 10º anniversary of its foundation.

- And a sixth meaning (TRUTH AND JUSTICE), about the falsehood of Jorn Lande´s words about Section X.

But there´s more, much more: number 6 as a symbol; baroque emblems; Stravinski and Liszt; Paul Dunbar´s poetry; egyptian goddess Ma´at; a curious affair with The Hunchback of Notre Dame…
