Definitely has a classic vibe to it, especially with the usage of the flute passages which add a nice folky touch to the music. They list for influences 70's prog and classical and I definitely get that feel, as the guitars have the sound of an acoustic classical guitar. It reminds me a little of the band Aufklarung from what I've heard of them so far.
I definitely recommend this for fans of prog folk, it's quite enjoyable. The mood is overall pleasant and the sound is rather hypnotic. It just draws you in and makes you want to hear more.  However, some of the stuff can be somewhat hard at times, in a manner similar to Jethro Tull

Fiore inutile - what a great introduction to a band. First a picked guitar, then a coughing guy, and suddenly there's music filling the room. Nice quality, wind instruments and good compositions. The vocalist also uses different 'voices' to express emotions, not just melody. Think I need to educate myself on singing theory in order to express what I mean here, though...

@Andrea: any chance of finding out whether they have album plans? I can contact them as well - but if they don't speak English I'll have to fall back on you.
