"This is one of those typical stories. As amazing record from a new band from a very small contry (in mind and size)wich is Portugal.
This record is an absolut blast. So powerfull with amazing string and orchestral arrangements. So beautifull with extraordinary melodies and landscapes. So different from the rest. I know that Madredeus management and label just did everything to put this band out of the big scene. They were sucessfull. Shame on them.
But that means that V Imperio (and not Imperio alone) was the big event (as the french tv channel ARTE just pointed them as the band le plus en vue).
What a pitty world..."

"I can't see why this portuguese group hasn't been more famous. Their music is just absolutely amazing... a unique sound! The lyrics and the instruments gets us to the pass, reminds us of how powerfull we were... the fifth empire! The CD starts with O Castelo, a powerfull music that anyone can't ignore and several other musics wich have the sea and the Saudade as the main muse. To all the New Age fans... Don't miss it!!!"
