3 stars Love the artwork.

Mona Lisa is a French symphonic prog band. As with everything from this country, the music here has it's very own identity. Take Peter Gabriel's Genesis and add even more theatrical effects to in particular the vocals and to the music. In this respect; we are talking about a scene which in addition to Mona Lisa also includes Ange and Atoll. A very interesting scene, in my view.

Having established that this album is theatrical symphonic prog drenched in French vocals, keyboards and guitars; we move on to the quality of the songs here. The music Mona Lisa does is an acquired taste and not for everyone. The music here is very good throughout. But even ten frustrating to good listening sessions does not convince me that this is a truly great album, I am afraid. But it is still a very good album...... but still an acquired taste.

3.5 stars
