Originally released in 1998 by Projekt, "Crossing The Trail" was recorded 1996-1997 by Vidna Obmana (aka Dirk Series, also of Fear Falls Burning), with guest appearances from: ethno-ambient heavyweight ;Steve Roach, guitar loop maestro Jeff Pearce, and ethereal chants from Martina Verhoeven.

The album contains seven compositions, characteristic of Vidna Obmana's work from this period. It could also be considered the perfect link between "The River Of Appearance" (1996) and "The Surreal Sanctuary" (2000).

For this reissue, the material was remastered by Dirk Serries in the summer of 2023. It has also been enriched with refreshed graphics, based on Martina Verhoeven's photographs from the same period as the first edition.
