Recorded in 1997 and originally released in 1999, the three-disc set comprised three distinct volumes: "The Sculptor", "The Writer" and "Sketches". The music within the set was evocative and beautifully revealed a different side of Rick's musical nature. The trilogy was prepared for a German record company that quickly ceased operations, making original copies hard to find.
