Notes
V: The New Mythology Suite was the first album to feature new bass player Michael Lepond, who was chosen out of many other bassists to replace Thomas Miller. With the addition of Lepond, 3 of the 5 band members now answer to the name Michael. Michael Romeo says the band addresses this problem by calling him [Romeo] "Michael," keyboard player Michael Pinnella "P," and by simply calling Michael Lepond "Lepond."
Jason Rullo rejoined the band on this album, after being absent on Twilight in Olympus.
The album includes pieces from Verdi's Requiem, Mozart's Requiem, Bach's Concerto for Harpsichord in D minor, BWV 1052 and Cantata No. 188, and Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra.
