4 stars In the middle between Camel and Edhels, with hints of the romantic sound by Ange (but in a darker mood), this band produced a couple of fresh albums since 1979/early eighties, even though a bit derivative. Nevertheless their imprinting was quite personal and strong as well. The melodic lines of flute are always convincing, expecially enriched with the music colours created by an aggressive guitar and the Mellotron keyboard as well, sometimes resembling the dark style of Pulsar...I think of the rhytmical section, getting a major impact on the listener by hearing- I suppose- the re-mastered version of this album and I believe they could be fascinating for a wider crowd of fans within the symphonic rock genre, also regarding of a few good progressive bands in the eighties, often too much derivative. Their line-up was composed also by Turkish musicians and was more remarkable in comparison to the majority of the neo prog bands in Europe (except on some tinny keyboards tunes- anyway a few ones). As for all these reasons, I hope listening to a cleaner version of this album, but I don't know whether a remastered version by Musea exists or not (let me know about it!!)

If you like the most experimental albums by Camel (e.g. "The Snow Goose" or "Moon Madness"), but in a darker vein,you have to buy this album...otherwise you can anyway check it out at least!!

Recommended!!
