Somewhere Far Beyond

Somewhere Far Beyond is the fourth studio album by the German power metal band Blind Guardian.

"The Piper's Calling" contains the first three parts of the Great Highland Bagpipe 2/4 March, "The 79th's Farewell to Gibraltar", written by Pipe Major John MacDonald of the 79th Regiment of Foot (Cameronian Volunteers).

Part of this composition also appears as a section of the title track, this time played on a different type of bagpipe.

The album was acclaimed by power metal fans all across Europe and especially Japan, allowing them to tour for the first time outside Germany.

The album was again re-released and also remixed and remastered as part of A Traveler's Guide to Space and Time boxset.
