The album is a very rare case of Cuban progressive rock
and an excellent amalgam of Symphonic Rock and Folk
with heavy doses of acoustic passages and warm vocals.
There are plenty of keyboards around,creating magnificent
soundscapes,from the romantic use of harpsichord and light
organs to the melodic moog synth solos and the
Classical-influenced piano parts.These deep atmospheres
are constantly supported by numerous acoustic explorations,
sometimes in long, demanding, complicated instrumental
passages.The use of electric guitars is careful and recalls
the best of GENESIS and PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI.
But what really explodes this album are the fascinating and
unique polyphonic arrangements,especially the female choirs
are so dreamy and ethereal, you can t get enough of them.
Male vocals are more expressive and certainly in the same level.
The albums holds plenty of similarities with the Spanish and
Italian Prog scene, more precisely bands in the vein of
MAXOPHONE, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI and CRACK.
