The work of "great" success and full maturity, a lengthy album bolstered by a wealth of ideas and inspiration. It has always given me the feeling of a hybrid between a youthful generational anthem and a sort of "Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi" concept, oscillating between melancholy and bursts of grit/anger. It’s not my absolute favorite from Sonica Gioventude (I remain particularly attached to those more rooted in the New York underground scene, Branca, and No-Wave), but it surely closes their golden decade remarkably, where (in addition to the EPs) they produced five stunning albums one after the other. In the '90s, they will create wonderful things, but no longer at such levels. This album also has an extraordinary atmosphere (see "Providence"). If I have to mention a few tracks, the favorites are "'Cross the Breeze," "Trilogy," and "The Sprawl," amid a wealth of overall quality.
