2 stars This issue was regarded as their partial decline, above all regarding of the last period according to the commercial exigencies of that time. "Echoes" probably was the unique exception along with a few pleasant episodes. The sound was almost in the vein of such "Disco-music" in some circumstances, while in other moments it could be considered as a different kind of a light fusion-genre, being anyway suitable for the common listener. This is not "prog" not the AOR music, but I should rather say an elegant pop- rock enriched with a few elements of light fusion.after all in the early eighties They produced a good album (always as AOR music) such as "Nude" (this latter enriched by means of some symphonic and "ethnic" features), before their long break which brought them to compose their excellent work "Dust & Dreams" and afterwards the other remarkable album entitled "Harbour of Tears". All these recent events confirm that "Breathless" alone, lacking of inspiration, represented the unique critical phase of their remarkable career; nevertheless the production was excellent and - moreover - the track "Echoes" became soon a classic song, also during their stunning performances live!!

For their collectors only, anyway!!
