I have wondered about a peculiar thing regarding Transsiberia. I have always been fascinated by this album, and I hope to one day travel the Trans-Siberian Railway. Most of the titles on the album is self explanatory, but the last track is called The Golden Horn, and I have several times searched for info on what this has to do with the Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia or Siberia. I know that the track is originally composed for Optical Race under a different name. And I thought that EF must have changed the title to fit the theme of this album. The otherwise informative Voices in the Net website could not help me in this matter, but recently I had an a-ha moment when I discovered that in Vladivostok (the Trans-Siberian end terminus) there is a huge, spectacular bridge called Zolotoy Rog (The Golden Horn). And all this makes perfect sense. The "problem" is that The Golden Horn bridge (quote Wikipedia): "was commissioned by the city of Vladivostok in 2006, Construction of the bridge began on July 25th, 2008, and the bridge was officially opened on August 11th, 2012".
The Transsiberia album was released 10 years prior to the building of the bridge. Can anyone shed some light on this?
