Strong album from Cuban band! Very melodic, heavily influenced by classical symphonic music, this album really surprised me! Haven't heard about Cuban progressive rock existence at all!

Four epic compositions, seriously influenced by Yes (or better - by their American followers), nice musicianship, great vocals. Sound and production both are ok as well. For sure it will be naive to search on experimental or just new elements in album's music. Genre's rules are different, but for new band's album, especially coming from such "non-prog" land as Cuba, this release is really great one! And to be honest, it's even better than many neo-symphonic prog (or just neo-prog) releases from more traditional markets,as UK or US.

I believe fans of melodic,romantic symphonic neo-prog will like this album. It was interesting for me to listen it. But this release didn't change my preferences in Cuban music - I will stay with Buena Vista Social Club though.

Solid 3+.
