"From out of the dark"

From Out Of The Dark

From out of the dark is a collection of 6 songs finished during the infamous Covid lockdown of 2020, drawing musical influences from many different genres and based on different themes close to my heart.

Some with a narrative, others about how I felt a particular junction in life, playing music, writing and recording songs has been a great outlet for me and helped me deal with and express myself in a productive fashion.

With no single genre over the six songs I decided to put them out as From out of the dark, to show how something good can come from the darkness. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making them.

I appreciate so much all the friends and family who have helped critique these tracks ready for public consumption. Thanks also to my younger sister, Hannah, for providing her vocal talents and lyric writing on two of the songs.

Star Wars Myths & FablesStar Wars Myths & Fables by George Mann

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A stunningly presented collection of original and unique stories from the Star Wars universe, told with what feels like genuine love and affection for the source material in the style comparable with olden day children's folk tales. Though in this style, the writing never felt too simplistic and I was able to enjoy the stories as what they are - tales of awe and wonder; myths and legends made infinitely more exciting because of their Star Wars connections. Mann respectfully includes many nods and references to canon characters, planets, locations and species throughout the stories, all of which make my inner fanboy squee.

Grant Griffin's accompanying art work is really beautiful, never too colourful or cartoony and always feels fitting to the genre. Each story gets it's own unique image to precede it.

A lovely collection great for Star Wars fans young and not so young.
