The fourth album from this band from Italy.
The band is a quartet with a lineup of drums, didgeridoo, bass, guitars, keyboards, flute, bassoon and effects.
The band continues with their instrumental take on symphonic prog. Or perhaps RPI ? The music here is not really RPI.
The music is a blend of symphonic prog and cinematic rock with some neo-classical music influences.
I have to admit that instrumental symphonic prog and cinematic rock is not two very exciting or engaging members of the progressive rock family. Camel raised the bar in this genre and few, far too few, has managed to release albums on their level.
That said.... the music on this album is not bad at all. The music has a strange keyboards sound but that is just adding some interest and quality to this forty minutes long album.
The music sounds like music from an alien planet and that perhaps on purpose. Some of the music is even good here. But some of it does not reach that level.
I am yet to be won over by this band and their genre. Nevertheless, this is an interesting album, well worth checking out.
