After some personell changes from the original line-up, the band developed a more experimental approach, with long, slowly developing pieces and some modern classical and jazzy elements. The trance-like rhythms create an atmosphere of tension and anticipation. Very interesting!

Same personell as on the previous album and very similar in style, this one is considered to be the group`s strongest effort. Strangely enough the group had a larger following outside their country then at home, especially in Spain, where they toured extensively.

Led by composer and keyboards player Ricardo MorenoFind albums by this artist the group went through some personnel changes in the late 1980s, as well as moving away from the Symphonic Prog, that dominated their early output, towards instrumental Prog / Fusion. The double lead guitar front and powerful keyboards by the leader, supported by an excellent rhythm section, create some really hot Fusion moments, which would delight any fan of the genre. The instrumental skills of all the players are quite amazing and the power, energy and interplay on this live recording are truly inspired. Most warmly recommended to Prog / Fusion fans.

The music is mostly complex Symphonic Prog, sometimes crossing over to Fusion in the instrumental improvised passages. Compositions are long and complex, well developed and based on classic musical forms. The vocal parts are dramatic and often close to operatic. All together this is fascinating and rewarding music, well worth investigating.
