3 stars Well personally I know these guys, because they share the same sound engineer with me...the first release is too much derivative, but you can start getting an inkling of their talent here! Nevertheless the original mix and the definition of their sound is not too sharp. Our sound Engineer,Mr P.Siconolfi, involved also with this recent ensemble, has already re-edited and re-mixed the whole debut album (within this latter, the presence of Bernardo Lanzetti, ex lead singer from Acqua Fragile and PFM, is interesting but not fundamental);instead their second album , whose issue is almost finished, will be much better from a lot of point of views. Except on such usual references to some Tony Bank's vintage synthezisers, there's also a certain personal imprinting, expecially in the melodic lines, reminding me of the best Pomp rock in the eighties....well it's not so original nor a masterpiece, but it's a strong album!!Anyway I'm waiting for their second one...

Make your own choice!!
