- Reception: While up and coming, Astaria had garnered a prolific following, and listeners from across the galaxy found the sudden passing of what was surely to be an intergalactic icon heartbreaking. The album was recieved with heavy hearts, with a high level of holonet play and record sales. The announcement that proceeds of the album would go to charitable organizations was no doubt a huge draw for sales as well.
Albums within collection and their content...
Tears of the Soul: The first indy release put out by Astaria. All of her albums have a four song count, each eight to ten minutes in length and etherial in nature. They're known for being bizarre, with an incorporation of natural sounds. Tears of the Soul was very much focused on oceanic sounds, mostly recorded on her home planet of Giju. Songs included: Tears of the Soul, Stones in Water, Undercurrent, and Taking Oxygen.
Lost in Stardust: Lost in Stardust was the second album of Astaria, and her biggest by far. This one incorporated sounds from various environments considered bizarre to the common individual, using the noises of creatures that live in the intergalactic void, such as purrgils, and the captured audio from astrological events. This album includes the songs: Stardust, Anchored, 5.5 to 9, and Distress Call.
Distant Lands: The most recent album that Astaria had been working on before her premature death. The album only has one song, Distant Lands, a piece that utilizes instruments recorded from local preformers that the artist had met and befriended on a one year sabbatical from the public eye. She found this journey to be uplifting and inspirational, making it a heartbreak to all that no other song made it into production.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The Works of Astaria Phobos is a memorial album, a collection of songs of signifigance composed by the late Chuhkyvi folksinger native to the planet of Giju. An up and coming artist who had a sudden boom in intergalactic holoplay, Astaria would unfortunately pass away whilst visiting Tython, killed in the sudden attack of the Dark Empire. This album includes pieces her notes indicated she held in high regard as well as a song as of yet unreleased to the public that she never got to publish. By the will of her family, the album was released to generate proceeds that would go to charitable organizations intended on rebuilding after the devistation of war. The rumor is that her family wishes to use this as the platform for a brand new charitable organization, but no such thing has been confirmed. The release has extended versions of both of her hit albums, Tears of the Soul and Lost in Stardust, as well as her final song: Distant Lands. The back of the album states the following.
"Astaria's life stands as a bridge between living beings, no matter the air they breath, as well as a reminder of how fragile all life is. As she once did, remember to hold fast to those you hold dear. A message of hope and love is what she dedicated her music to, and we hope to share that message with the galaxy one last time..."
The comment is believed to have been written by her father. The young musician was twenty-three years of age at her passing.
Important Note: The rebirth of Phobos as an Ashspawn is unknown of by the public, and similarly the young woman is unaware of her past life as a musician. Should the character be encountered, the chances of recognizing her for her previous work is slim to none.
