Other perople helped to realize this record: a chorus and a strings' quartet. No long tracks, as usual for Le Orme. Time has changed as the music did. Cannot expect to listen to something similar to their golden age (1971-1974) or to their excellent classical efforts (1979-1980) or to some of their more popish and commercial tunes (as for example their albums Storia o Leggenda and Orme). Evolution brought its contribution as we see the band mixing the peculiar italian symphonic style with the vast and deep horizons of (melodic) space-rock and even adding little eastern references, the sitar of Tagliapietra, mainly, in the song "La Ruota del Cielo" (The Wheel od the Sky). Yep, the album's title was a sort of revealer, as the nice cover painting. The album is warm and flowing, very often dreamy as the delicate lyrics. A rich use of keyboards, organ and synth. Excellent also the electric guitar, even if is somehow the most "conventionally" played instrument. All in all, this is not a masperciece. Maybe it's not the best one to start with or, at least, for the Le Orme's newcomers. By the way, it's one of the most interesting albums I have listened to of them. One of the best after their fabulous four (Collage, Uomo di Pezza, Felona e Sorona, Contrappunti).
