No real changes in comparison with his debut album. This one man band (Corrado Sardella) is now
surrounded by only two of his mates (instead of ten for The Long Pathway). Same sort of ELP oriented
music, which is almost instrumental (only one short song with vocals and one with some spoken words).
Keyboards lovers: this one is made for you. Only that the whole story is a bit boring at the end of the day
(but it was already the case with his previous album). This is fine when you listen to the music distractively. But when you concentrate and try to extract the essence of it, the experience just collapse. Symphonic prog: probably. But not creative. The guy is certainly gifted musically; but in terms of compositions he is no genious, for sure. There Are lots of ambient passages, some nice guitar breaks as well, like during the title track. Teru's Symphonia fans should appreciate this album but there is no outstanding number featured. Only a long succession of keys of all sorts for about an hour. That's it. But so was his debut. This work is full of self-indulgence and it sounds quite pretentious and monotone. Inventiveness and creativity are alien here. Sub-sub par ELP. No more. Two stars because this album won't hurt your musical senses. But it won't transport you to heaven either. I fully endorse the last sentence of Igor's review. I quote: sometimes this music can bore to death.
