I have been overwhelmed by this disc. After reading "lte5280"'s review, I must say I cannot agree with him at all. I don't see that obvious resemblances to King Crimson, neither Pink Floyd, Cage, Zappa or the others. What I hear here is very original music of a kind I thought only reserved to extremely obscure releases such as Ys by Balleto dil Bronzo or such, not for a similarity in music, but for the great show of musical intricacy, compositional skills and brave approach to music. Ranging from contemporary classical music, progressive folk, avant-garde, free-form jazz, choral music... too much to enumerate.

The disc is an authentic experience that deserves to be listened, the compositions are all well thought to reach some disctintive emotion or intention, and the musical and vocal skills of the musicians are outstanding. Congratulations, and thanks for allowing me to share this wonderful experience.

Maybe a disc not to be listened by everyone (it can be hard for many), but I am just grateful of having discovered it.
