4 stars I have to admit that I have not listened to this phenomenal band before. As for the audio production, which is very important to me, they sound great and have a vibe of the nineties with the beginning of the 2000s. What attracted me the most was that these four songs lasts over ten minutes, even the first Lunares song lasts over fifteen minutes. I could say that they have their original tone. At times they remind me a lot of post rock-core bands and prog metal (Long Distance Calling, Russian Circles, Haken, Dream Theater, Opeth), I think I've said enough about the influences. The guitar and keyboard passages fits perfectly into that Deep Purple/Opeth sound from the Blackwater Park album, which gives them a special dimension. The calmer parts of the songs are perfectly drawn out by guitar breakdowns and solos. It all sounds great, because it's not easy to make an arrangement and at the same time to sound good and interesting without vocals. They succeeded in that. All in all this is really a very good album for fans of instrumental progressive rock/metal sound. 4/5
