This album has the quietest beginning of any that I have ever heard; I had to turn the volume up to
make sure that there was something going on! Dreamy layered keyboards then gave way to a much
more Hawkwind style space rock attack, but that also didn't last for long. This is an album that refuses to stick to any particular style, and there are hints of Magma, King Crimson and VDGG as well as an unusual singing style from Roberto Goddardi. This is the third album from the Italians, who were formed in 1988. This is music that is challenging, and often defies description. Just when I think that I can understand what is going on they change tack totally. The result is an album that is going to alienate all but the most devoted progressive fan. That in itself is not a bad thing; especially as so many progressive bands these days are nothing of the sort. This harkens back to the days of the early Seventies when the word 'progressive' really did mean that. It may not be easy listening but I got a lot out of it. Originally appeared in Feedback #60
