5 stars its hard to describe this masterpiece cause it mixes many genres. 1. cygnus..... vismund cygnus (9.5/10) this track starts with quiet acoustic guitar and beautifull vocals. after that the guitar comes with a splash ( guitar riff sounds very hard to play) drums are also awesome on this piece. you can also hear some electronic influences at the end of the song very very good. 2.widow (8.5/10) this is the closest to a pop song that this album offers. powerfull vocals and lyrics. theres a surprise when the song turns to pure electronic voice but i like it. not as good as cygnus but better than good 3.l`via vià viaquez (9/10) someone might scare the spanish vocals but i dont. there is some english vocals in the end of the track though. the chorus is full space salsa. great 4. (9/10) it starts with 4 minutes of ambient (its not as boring as it sounds) its intresting. this explains much of the story of this album. acoustic guitar, electric guitar and trumpets make the climax of the chorus. beatifull 5. cassandra gemini (10/10) one of the best tracks in the whole history of progressive rock. you have to hear it i cant explain this 32 minute epic. CONCLUSION = THIS RECORD IS NOT FOR EVERYONE ITS DARK, NOISY, EXPERIMENTAL BUT IF YOU ARE INTRESTED BUY THIS MASTERPIECE
