2 stars The opener "Orient Express" is a great piece of intrumental music. Strong keys, violent guitar (reminds me Taļ Phong in "Goin' Away") great rythm as well as some flamenco parts. It is the highlight of the CD.

"Merlin" is a sweet (almost classical) melody with a good violin playing. Same applies to "Locura Temporal" while "Viaje a Escocia" ( Trip to Scotland) has some Tull influences (not only due to the flute playing) in the intro section. But little by little the interest of this album decreases : "Notre Damme", "Recorriendo Mundo" are weak tracks. Tull is back again with "Zyclopea".

"Electric Nights" features really bad vocals. Since most of the album is instrumental, they could have skipped vocals completely because the second part of the song is: probably one of the best moment of this CD. With such a title, the next song "Fantasias de Rey Arturo" (King's Arthur Fantasies) sounds legitimately quite medieval.

So, globally, there is nothing wrong with this piece of music : good musicianship, nice melodies at times but too few great moments. Two stars.
