4 stars Often sounding like a mix of Tangerine Dream and King Crimson musically, and with the added effect of storytelling on top of the music - with wording and phrasing inspired by ancient legends - Quodia offers a truly unique musical concept on this debut.

Moods and atmospheres are compelling and captivating; and it's easy to just sink into the dreamy atmospheres presented here.

Fans of the psychedelic aspects of life and art will adore the DVD that companions this CD; where you get to see the multimedia presentation developed as part of this project as well.

4 stars This DVD was quite compelling. It was musically pretty diverse and very different from pretty much anything I've ever heard. There was a little King Crimson in there to be sure, as well as some ambient stuff that you would hear from Tangerine Dream or Brian Eno. I thought part one was a little slow, but the more I think about it, I think it's appropriate for setting the stage for the next six parts to follow. Some real highlights of the disc are Thick and Thorny, which turns into this crazed running from demons music, I Saw Two Hands, When The Fire Was Slow, which has some really trippy stuff going on in the DVD, Water Woman, and Chained, which contains an absolutely killer guitar solo. This is something for people who are looking to explore a different side of music. I personally loved it. I am definitely going to share this with some of my friends.
