"This a great instrumental progressive rock album featuring songs written around the concept of the formation of the universe and life on earth. Don't worry too much if you're not into concept albums cause the concept is there for show, it's the music that counts. This band is top notch featuring members of the gold standard band in this genre - Planet X. Virgil Donati nails everything on drums and he's supported by Rufus Philpott on bass. The complex grooves and time changes are what these guys were born to play. Daniele Liverani is a great keyboard player who has lent his talents to a number of melodic rock albums recently but this album is his baby and he shows us that he has interesting progressive ideas too. Also features Tommy Ermoli on guitars who plays with Liverani in the brilliant melodic rock band Khymera. This is highly recommended to fans of interesting progressive rock."
