3 stars AEROSTATION, a blend of crossover, alternative rock, and electronic pop. Avant-garde music, evoking cinematic worlds.

1. Voices for the spatial, ambient, mysterious, and progressive cinematic intro, with its buildup to invasive synths. 2. Wide Eyes And Wonder for its well-calibrated 80s rock flavor, the nervous guitar riff here. 3. Straight To The Sun for the mysterious encore intro, the tune then leading into dark, rhythmic synth pop rock. 4. Fourteen Days Of Lightness for its inviting, spatial bass, a minimalist, airy ballad with the appropriate synth slur and a moving solo on top. 5. Coldness opens reverberantly, repetitively, and addictively; a phrased vocal over drums and synth that drifts in an impetuous torrent, typical of the 80s DEVO style. The finale of FROST*'s work in modern, energetic prog rock. 6. Long Distances, with a rushed feel, a keyboard reminiscent of the new-wave style of the early SIMPLE MINDS, is languid, and a fresh, energetic instrumental, both melodic and rhythmic, innovative with the appearance of Davide's guitar.

7. The Arrow, for an encore repetita with a fluid, danceable feel, set to an airy nursery rhyme with a jazzy break thanks to the presence of the bass. Repetitive keyboard finale 8. The Ghost Bride for its ambient and invigorating sound, surrounded by keyboards, the band's signature, for synthetic prog-pop rock. 9. From Day To Night for its dark, solemn, and serious break, a hint of John Carpenter's keyboards from the 90s, and the rest of the series in the same musical style. 10. One Billion Steps for its ambient and spatial break and a start of proven redundancy. 11. Kepler 186-F for its synthetic outro from the 80s, its cinematic NASA sound, dark, austere, and repetitive, on OMD or KRAFTWERK. A beautiful, rhythmic and innovative final interlude.

Modern rock with catchy melodies, catchy choruses, a well-calibrated sound, alternating softness and rhythm, and a soaring atmosphere. A distinctive sound with prominent keyboards distilling fluid, crystalline, twisted, and saturated layers to shock the listener.(3.5)
