Ok, here we have totaly different PFM ( if you still remember them from 3-4 first albums). I think, the music there isn't bad at all, but the main problem is target group.

If earlier albums we recorded in very melodic and classically influenced optimistic sympho- rock, this album is another fish. Acoustic Latino-style guitar, soft and warm mediterranean fusion-scented Latin-pop. Congas,marimbas, rich bass line. Typical Italian pop-vocal.

So, generally we have pop-world-fusion there (OK, or quality Italian pop-rock, if you want). Sound is pleasant,warm, and realy is more better that it's category competitors.

So, the album isn't bad at all, but for "serious"( read - old-fashioned) sympho-rock listeners ideologically unacceptable.But even them can notice high level of musicians participated.

I have no wish just to turn "old sympho purists" to new religion. But I think for new generation of listeners this music could be interesting, so can recommend it more to them.
