4 stars Spanish symphonic prog in the Italian/Spanish tradition.

The album starts with a very pastorial theme and I can smell heaven. The vocals are brilliant. Then some pretty heavy guitars kicks me out of heaven again. Which is fair enough. Maybe I am not ready for heaven yet ? The album is a mix of pastorial symphonic themes and some more rock and pop orientated themes. It is pretty obvious that this is a Spanish band. I am not only referring to the vocals, but also to the guitars. But the dominating instrument is the keyboards. Both piano, hammond and moog. Those are excellent stuff. The same goes for the vocals.

Their style are pretty similar to the Italian symphonic prog band PFM and I guess fans of the Italian scene will embrace this band. I think all the songs on this album is excellent. The more pacey bits are exciting with different rhythm patterns and use of sounds (coming from the keyboards, I presume). It is also a very varied album where the different themes has their own identity. This makes this album a very memorable album and one who stands out from the crowd. I am a fan.
