ALBUM REVIEW
Their instrumental symphonic music is dominated by keyboards with bombastic sounds on very complex and majestic compositions: many rhythms changes, researched harmonies, sometimes adventurous ones, tension crescendos full of intensity and very contrasted atmospheres. Using the experience they gained from their success at ProgFest 1995, this killer trio strikes again with "Android Domina", their best and most mature production so far. Symphonic keyboards are enhanced by a perfect rhythm section on arranged themes, dominated by outstanding and magnificent keyboards. They make good use of changes and breaks in the rhythms, elaborated harmonies, contrasted climates and intense increases in the underlying tension. This trio invented again the power-trio organ and managed to overtake its references (EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER, GOBLIN, TRACE, BANCO DEL MUTUO SOCCORSO...) thanks to the absence of virtuosity for the sake of it, to the classical inspirations and most of all thanks to original prog.
