4 stars Magma, after the big debut still maintaining the level of your music with their sound influenced by KC, delving into jazz. The album mentioned is more a question of keeping or not the five stars (which does not dare to do). Besides a unique style, the fact of abusing woodwinds less common in progressive music is what attracted our attention beyond the heavy pianos, voices and dark psychedelia. I believe that the presence of Christian Vander on drums is crucial because of its unique style of play, another thing that contributes to the MAGMA throughout this album is the synchrony between the various instruments and also the voices, one follows the other while creates a freedom to improvise, the song "Iss" Lanseļ Doļa ached and a most obvious example of this: it seems that an instrument responds to another in an epic jazz-rock. As I have said it is a question between giving 4 or 5 stars I justify saying that many often these wind instruments remind me a lot KC, but what is nevertheless an album of very high level.
