CD Reviews

One of the best canterburian japanese works of the 80's
Lethe | Milan, Italy | 02/11/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Well apart from the clear reference to Mahavishnu orchestra and Arti&Mestieri in the track "Crossfire",there are also a lot of interesting symphonic interjections, which make this album more remarkable than for example the Outer Limits debut (even though this latter is quite stunning and rated as a 4 stars work)...the right rate of "Story of mysterious Forest" is probably 4 and 1/2.
I make this comparison with the best from Outer Limits, cause many critics, by reviewing some 80's jap. prog, have put these bands on the same level (I prefer Teru's Symphonia "Fable of the Seven Pillows", a bit better than both...and consider Ain Soph as well superior than Outer Limits, but nevermind). Anyway for me the present work by Ain Soph is already a classic...I find a lot of music styles similar to the best Camel;besides a lot of interesting jamming guitar solos and some post canterburian excursions as well - according the best tradition of bands such as Mational Health and Soft Machine - let appreciate their versatility!! Well I stop reviewing here, because I don't want to affect your opinion.
Try to listen to them and make your choice ..."
It's a mysterious masterpiece
B. E Jackson | Pennsylvania | 05/21/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"A band that sounds like they were influenced by Genesis and Pink Floyd (and probably most resemble the Alan Parsons Project in musical approach and atmosphere) this is a great album, and worth owning.

Jazz-rock made in Japan
Fabio Romagnoli | Rome, Italy | 10/27/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Quello degli Ain Soph è davvero un bell'esempio di jazz-rock con venature prog di stampo canterburyano, suonato da un gruppo di musicisti fantasiosi e tecnicamente ben preparati. Consigliato agli amanti del genere."
