4 stars Overal impression- This is my first run in with this band. The album is a great instrumental mix of jazz, symphonic classical orchestra (the dominant element), with ambient prog elements. If you are into instrumental prog of this description this is right up your ally. I really enjoy this album for the dynamic tracks which shift from moody frantic paces to ambient/atmospheric music. This is definitely heavilly classical and vocalless so be warned.

Track 1: Nel Cielo...: Very classical track, not much rock going here but a very nice relaxed overture sounding type piece.

Track 2: Starts off souding jazzy with nice piano runs and horns. The horn style reminds me of bitches brew miles davis. Overall a very nice, dynamic jazz track.

Non Senza Dolore- Some nice floating (mellotron?) with saxophones playing starts this track. It has a very moody feel with a tense violen along with some synth runs. Saxophone really shines on this track. The more ambient sections in this song are very well constructed.

4- Powerful syphonic piece with touches of jazz again. Another very moody song with piano arpreggios reminiscent of track 2 (I think they are the same ones actually).The electric guitar makes its first appearance on this track with some nice clean soloing. Overall classically dominated piece.

5- Beautiful piano intro, begins with a very classical feel then shifts into a pretty cool jazz rock song.

6- Boring at times but again the dynamics interest in particular the shift to the synth part at the end.

7-This song sounds almost like a rip of Lark Tounges in Aspic pt 1 in the beginning but takes its own characeter pretty quickly. Blazing drum lines, up front brass playing, some quick piano lines... very nice track.
