Very impressive, to say the least. Being Armenian myself, I may be biased but I think these guys can really put together some great melodic and folky prog.

The guitarist, Vahagn Amirkhanyan is a masterful and precise player, comparable to Steve Hackett or Andy Latimer. He just plays beautiful, long notes and really paints a great picture. The flute, like many others have pointed out, gives this band a sound similar to Tull, which I love. If only they had found a way to incorporate the Armenian-native "duduk," a slightly simpler but still terrific sounding woodwind instrument, this band may have more of an ethnic feel. The rythm section forms a great backbone for the band, especially Moltivin's bass.

Favorite tracks include: Barev (meaning, 'Hello'), The Lost Symbol and Im Ser (My Love)...Not too many Armenian lyrics: Great for all to enjoy.
