5 stars 1. Suspended Animation Dreams dry guitar, schoolyard crisis in the background, the cinematic before its time and a jazzy sax which comes to discredit, an Indian flute but where are we? 2. Wolf Among Sheep arrives in a latent, lascivious, oppressive, calm atmosphere, but Paul in a calm growl calls out to us; violin afterwards, laughter, hilarious as I like; a delicate acoustic piano arpeggio which gives into the Andalusian, a plaintive guitar, a must for a sound apart between dark, melodic and progressive; 3. No Place Like Home with this paradigm between the sensual jazzy side and the growl voice for their differences, for the Opethian research of the time when certain progues refused to admit it; slow post dark rock variation which drifts into a Balkan atmosphere with the sinister violin 4. Kind of a Blur airy piano interlude followed by the appearance of the violin à la RONDO VENEZIANO, solemn, emphatic, majestic 5. The Rock N' Roll Preacher returns to dark rock where the growl voice is sung and discredits; is it beautiful or unbearable? break with guitar arpeggio, cymbals and melancholic drift, languorous phrasing, angelic choirs, piano on a soft rock ballad which will flirt with the sounds of PINK FLOYD; return with trumpet and growl confusing again,

6. Six Strings to Cover Fear in the atmosphere of KING CRIMSON, quickly broken by this howl to which you will have to get used, otherwise you will stay on the platform, and you would have to with the progressive space which comes afterwards, long melancholy doom rock lament with a fruity, divine guitar solo; 7. Awake for the epic piece, a quarter of an hour of reverie, wandering, travel, musical amalgamation; 5 minutes and we set off on the distant wanderings of Mike OLDFIELD, the violin and piano variation becomes symphonic, airy; 11 minutes and the return to heavy rock which leans towards the wonderful BELIEVER, also avant-garde; brief innovative 8. In short, there's nothing better to cultivate your ear.
