THE REVIEW

What a surprise! It might have been the road I was on, long and soothing, it might have been the "human" temperature, I put on this CD for the first time and... well, not bad at all, really.
By an Italian group, too, diving decisively into musically dangerous waters... with such Mogwai, Bardo Pond, and the like... psychedelics included...

Very long tracks, but strangely not heavy, nor excessive... Yet it's their debut album. If this is any indication, it really whets the appetite...

Recommended: to travelers inside and outside space, fifty kilometers on a highway after a storm is its own (of the album, I mean)
Not recommended: for those who listen with their ear poised like a gun, searching for their first imitation. They are Port-Royal, and that's it, isn't that enough?
