In 1992 and 1993 Jon Strongbow released his first instrumental albums: "WORLD WITHOUT WORDS" and "MUSIC FOR INTENSE CITIES," both of which contain the seeds for what later would become Mystery School. Both these albums contain Tibetan chants from the Shakya Monastery woven into some of the music. |

In 1994 Jon Strongbow embarked on a project now known as "SHORT STORIES," where 20 musical themes are compressed to three minutes or less. This was accomplished with the aid of the sensational Martin Sutlovich on fretless bass and the extraordinary Patrick Donicht on drums and engineering. |

In 1995 this same group of artists recorded "DREAM WALTZ" which contains 10 larger instrumental pieces by Jon Strongbow. This album was created immediately prior to the founding of MYSTERY SCHOOL and has many of the same musicians performing on it. |
|
The first official Mystery School album is 1995's "ANCIENT YOUTH." The theme is "We are all immortal children." It features Clayton Park on electric violin, Martin Sutlovich on fretless bass, Dave Martin on drums, Mark Taylor on percussion and Jon Strongbow on keys. |

This was followed in 1996 with "TRAVELOGUE." The same lineup is featured here, but with emphasis on special effects that induce the sensation of traveling to remote parts of the earth, including the China Seas, Arabia, Rain Forests of South America, Venice Italy, the Mountains of Tibet, and ghost towns in America, to name a few. |
