When it was released in 1996 on the AD Music label, 'Elysian Fields' received tremendous critical acclaim. Snippets of the album were heard in 1995, when AD Music's David Wright, impressed with Bekki's demo tape, decided to put two tracks on the 1995 AD sampler CD. These pieces, 'Megaera' and 'Elysian Fields (part 1)' became the first and second tracks on Bekki's debut album.  

Tracks from the album have been featured on compilation albums from Italy and Germany; indeed, public reaction to her music in Germany earned Bekki the place of 10th best newcomer in the 1997 Schwingungen awards. In addition, 'Elysian Fields' was the second best-selling CD for 1996 in Derby's Midas Chart, as well as ranking in the top 10 of many radio playlists from both Europe and the USA during 1996 and 1997, notably the syndicated 'Echoes' radio programme.

Originally called 'Twilight's Child', (this title was dropped because it was considered too kitsch), 'Elysian Fields' continues to receive frequent airplay from all four corners of the globe, and remains an excellent seller.

Bekki's favourite track is 'In the Arms of Morpheus' - she says that she finds it relaxing. That said, she actually prefers Mass Panic's remix, done for the Trance AD compilation album.
