 With the harsher side of their sound toned down, what emerges is a pastoral, psychedelic, gentle, soothing, melancholic, space, and prog work, as if to highlight their wonderful skeleton made of seventies ballads, direct ascensions into hyperspace with sounds that fill every gap of emptiness hiding around us with magical emotion: like Pink Floyd dragged into the new millennium, they encounter harmonies that descend directly from those beautiful grooves, never to be replicated again.
