Notable Quotes

❝ In conclusion, "A Dark Place" represents an excellent experimental album, recommended for those who love small soundtracks, fans of Gothic bands like The Cure and Depeche Mode, lovers of more intimate music by bands like Air, Radiohead.
❝ In conclusion, we can say this is truly an album that goes straight to the heart, and this musical genre is rarely explored in Italy.
❝ Recommended for those who love the atmospheres of "Blade Runner" or the more recent "Stranger Things", and for all those who have the synthwave scene and sci-fi soundtracks in their hearts, awaiting the concept album to be released in May.
❝ "Lost Themes From Arcadia" sounds like an imaginary soundtrack for a lost sci-fi movie, the album moves nimbly between the vintage cinematic darkness of John Carpenter and more recent soundtracks such as the current "Stranger Things" series.
