AUF DEUTSCH

1. Mitternacht (4.36)
2. Schicksal entdeckt (5.46)

These German versions of two songs from the album 'Quest' were released as a single, coupled with 'En Français'. 'Mitternacht' is a gloomy song dealing with self reflection, insecurity, loneliness, and has some religious overtones. 'Schicksal entdeckt', a choral fantasy, summarizes the overall album subject: the quest to find the right path in life, a hidden truth one should always endeavour to find.

EN FRANÇAIS

2. l'Angoisse (4.53)

These French versions of two songs from the album 'Quest' were released as a single, coupled with 'Auf Deutsch'. 'Changer à l'autre' is a song about the desire to see a relationship through one's partner's eyes, in order to find out why things aren't as one wants them to be.

THE SPHINX

1. The Sphinx (4.23)
2. The Sphinx (Extended Version) (7.21)

Not an official release, but a cover of the Amanda Lear song. I recorded this in February 2010, at the start of the 'Quest' project. It's offered here for free, as an homage, and to avoid copyright issues.

From several sources on the internet:
There was a time when Hollywood was considering making a film of Dali's Life, starring Claudia Schiffer, and based on Amanda Lear's autobiography. 'I ran into Claudia at a restaurant,' Amanda recalls. She said, 'I love your book! Who wrote it for you?' I said, 'I did, darling. Who read it to you?'  So that was the end of that. They never made the movie.
