After completing the *Middle Earth* and *Eternal Champion* trilogies, Kirkwood pressed on into 1992 at a furious pace, turning his attention next to material inspired by the seminal dark fantasy series *Sandman*. The comic\u2019s themes of dreamscapes, myth, and the occult aligned perfectly with Kirkwood\u2019s creative drive at the time, resulting in *Castle of Sand* (1992, oos268\/DEI-008), *Lord of the Dreaming* (1992, oos269\/DEI-009), and *Through a Dark Glass* (1993, oos267\/DEI-007). These cassettes also marked the first use of vibrant color in Kirkwood\u2019s beautifully primitive cover art. Despite the popularity of their source material, these recordings remain among the most elusive in Kirkwood\u2019s catalog: decades later, *Lord of the Dreaming* was misidentified and merged with material from *Castle of Sand*, while *Through a Dark Glass* has remained unavailable to the public\u2014until now. Expertly remastered from Mr. Kirkwood\u2019s master tapes, which he used to dub the original cassette copies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
