Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Swiss ensemble delivers a woodwind-heavy take on symphonic rock, eschewing standard electric guitars in favor of prominent flute and saxophone interplay. The complex rhythmic structures and frenetic energy echo the intricate works of King Crimson and Van der Graaf Generator. This sophomore effort remains highly regarded among aficionados for its technical precision and uniquely acoustic-driven density.
