A best-of posted by another friend of Matthew's after his death in 2011, this is a cleaned-up digital remaster of select tracks from the three original albums, plus a few otherwise unreleased tracks.
Matthew's longtime dark, ethereal rock band (he played keyboards and some guitar, sang on some songs, and did the drum programming for most of the band's output).
Matthew's dungeon synth/solo instrumental project from the mid-late 90s. There is a kinship between some of the Secret Stairways material and the more darkambient Tears ov Blood material it rose from.
