Mephisto Walz - Dear familiar phantoms

Again you come ye hovering forms
I find as early to my clouded sight ye shone
Shall i attempt this once to sieze and bind ye
Still o'er my heart is that illusion thrown

Are we still standing
Or if further we're ascending

You crowd more near then be the reign assigned ye
And sway me from your misty shadow zone
My bosom thrills with youthful passion shaken
From magic airs that round your march awaken

All is turning...
Trees and rocks with grinning faces
All is whirling...
Wandering lights that spin in mazes

Of joyous days you bring the blissful vision
The dear familiar phantoms rise again
And like an old and half-extinct tradition
Renewed is pain with mournful repetition

First love returns with friendship in his train
And names the good whose cheating fortune tore them
Now life tracks his devious labyrinthine chain
And left me to deplore them

[RavenXGhost]

This version sounds different than the one from Crocosmia, particularly the bass. Where's this version off of?

Their 1986 mini-album was release on an Italian label called Supporti Fonografici (catalog number: SF 010). This release features a male singer named Jorque (aka Creature). All of the songs will be familiar as they were later re-recorded with Christiana and Bari on vocals.

...they again relocated, this time in Los Angeles. I believe it was around this time the band had a spat, Bari-Bari and Christiana split (they had become a couple), and Bari sought to continue Mephisto Walz as a solo-project with a new female singer. Not sure where the project currently stands.

This is how I understand the story to be, but don't quote me on it.
