Hmmm.

Travelling Duck is very good, although it's a pity someone thought it would be nice to include a PFM like flute. There was no real need for that. Nice guitar work though - the guitar is definitely the lead instrument in this band.

~~Nodo is too repetitive for me (could be related to how I feel right now, though). Can't stand it for more than a minute.~~
EDIT: Scratch that, see post below.

More later...

Relistening Nodo now, and I must say I like it a lot more now. Probably because I replaced my crap notebook speakers with a new 2.1 set. This is nice stuff, and may definitely fit in Psychedelic here on PA.

Their first demo is also worth listening, even though it is almost 8 years old by now.

The more I hear Astral Loom (been playing the old and new demo's for about an hour now, the more I like it. Even the flute fits in now - I have no clue why I ever made that comment last year.

Luca, your band deserves a full record release, have you got any plans or activities in that area?

Wow, thank you very much for your comment!

Unfortunately there's very little interest for bands like us in the place we live... Only pop cover bands can have a constant live activity Angry

Our main aim, at the moment, is to complete the new CD recording in our little private studio... then who knows... We are planning to create a myspace to get more exposition through the internet.

Bye.

Luca

P.S.: new tracks are very very nice ones! I'll surely let ypu know when the CD will be ready .
