3 stars I quite liked their debut album (''Zumanthum'', released in 2001): a superb epic and great musical moments could be enjoyed all the way through.

I wouldn't be as laudatory about this work, but there is no real harm done either with this third opus. Only that great songs are somewhat absent here. This album is quite wordy and probably lacks in some profound and structured instrumental sections.

Let's consider this as good background music which won't hurt your senses. But they won't kick your ass or sublimate your ears either. A typical ''incognito'' work, some sort of chameleon that here and there attempts to attract your attention (''Time Can Say'' ) with success.

Another good track is the elaborate ''Ost Inside''. It presents some metal lines and a harder vocal style but it shows some fine instrumental parts as well (which aren't that many on this work). Even pastoral fluting can be experienced! It is the more diverse song so far and my highlight.

The last two songs from ''And We're Not Here?'' are quite different from one another: some sort of heavy dance beat music (''Entropy'') and quite a good neo or even symphonic mini-epic (''Captain''). No need to tell you that the latter has my preference.

A good album after all: three stars.
