Album Notes

Urban Legend is Raskolnikov's Dream second full length album. It represents more than a year's hard work. Its main idea is to be a representation of the fragments of images and sounds that pass through the city dweller's brain each moment he carries on living inside the urban web.

The fragments include tools (screwdriver), transportation (subway, crash), living creatures (navarinou dogs),the systems and materials that constitute the city's veins (hydraulic, metal) and the city dweller's feelings and despair (shooter). The city dweller's existence is illuminated by the ever-present light of the city, be it the electric lights that accompany his leaving of the urban landscape, iterally or metaphorically, (city lights - leaving), as well as the light of the dawn that shines upon the urban concrete marvel (urban dawn).

The final track is "Urban Legend". An urban legend is nothing more than the proof that a city has grown something more than the sum of its parts. It's a living creature with its own mind, capable of creating its own myths and knowledge, while allowing its constituents, the dwellers who believe they can have control of it, share that legend, all the while they are becoming, bit by bit, part of that greater organism, completely unaware that their own uniqueness is lost in the vast entangled web of the urban landscape.
