the first two albums were some sort of prelude for the pop-opera "times", which was lesiëm's third album (released as "auracle" in the united states in 2004). the musicians started their work in march 2002 and finished it in the end of july. the single "caritas" (featuring scottish singer maggie reilly and deutsche oper berlin) was presented in december 2002 on the philanthropic tv-show of josé carreras, "carreras gala". in 2005, lesiëm released its latest songs for a new version of "times", "morgain" and "morgause", both also collaborations with maggie reilly.
