4 stars It should be symphonic, but I find first track more like neo-prog. Just listen to "Boromir" (play on The Lord of the Rings?) and you'll see. I suppose that categories aren't so important. but "Aesthetic Surgery" soon proves in which genre this stands. "Midma". full of long and wonderful solos (this kind of guitar playing, style, fantasy-like). 65 minutes gives a lot of space for long songs. For example interlude like, 3 minutes filler Or "Demetrio..." with again, impressive guitar solo. Track names are weird, it's because of almost concept like themed album. I suppose that (at least some parts are) it's about modern life. Synth sounds in "Enter the Modem Hero" are supporting feeling of computer. And last song, "Compression" first minutes offer easy to do trick. Forget about world and flow away with mellotron supported, light prog sounds. And true prog will come later, don't worry. I have very ubiquitous feeling about this album. Very intriguing one, full of things which merely escapes your reach and stays out of reach. And out of ... heard.

The question is, what is so vulgar about it ? 4(-), for too much synths and electronica.
