Although playing some symphonic music, Framauro has a harder approach. I can even find some influence from this band while listening to Riverside. So, their musical spectre is broad.

One of my fave is "Poznac Siebie". It features the most beautiful symphonic musical passages from this album. Very powerful as well. "Basniowe Alternatywy" is also very pleasant. Gorgeous keyboards; a fantastic and wild guitar break during the second part : absolutely magic. This number is harder than average and takes its distances for the symph style.

"Nakarmieni Masmediami" sounds a bit weak after this. Most of the time, it is acoustic with some marimba in the background. The voice is particularly annoying. Several short but violent breaks will bring some vitality (believe me) in this number. Rather bizarre I must say.

Let's consider the short "Etna" as a transition track and here we go for "Zatrzymac Czas". Nice composition with a very emotional crescendo tempo at the end. "TV Show" is almost hard-rocking : great rhythm and very strong guitar. Again, Framauro are closer from prog-metal than from symph here. But I do not dislike it. A bit unexpected, that's all.

Another highlight of this album is "Prasowe Papugi". Fully symphonic this time, it has lots of flavour of Italian symphonic music : melodic, emotional and passionate. While "Enter" is again almost hard-rocking. Framauro is really hesitating about their musical genre. But it does not really matter since they are really good in both styles. Still, it is rather difficult to categorize them. The closing number is truely subtle and very pleasant. A nice final touch.

This band proposes an interesting music, not brilliant but good and creative enough for you to discover "Etermedia". It is fully in-line with the great Polish tradition of good prog bands. Seven out of ten, but I will downgrade it to three stars.
