Description/Reviews: 

Classical music form, polyphonic texture, competing in density and complexity with Ozric Tentacles, masterly guitar parts played in shred technique, metal-double-pedal drum base, notes of ancient India sounding is Sanskrit.

 The disc released in autumn 2012 was recorded in 2000. The album compositions had been written mainly long before the 2000th (since 1977 till 1984), nevertheless they sounded newly and freshly by the time of the record. They still sound in the same manner and the reasons for it are: the time outrunning presentation of rhythmic section, timeless music language and difference from anything familiar. So, music lovers do not have similar associations, everyone finds something of his own.
