Description/Reviews: 

Xenoforms was written from more of a calm perspective, as opposed to most of the earlier releases. It is meant to serve as the ending to the concept. With the Knowledge of the Ancients and the power of the Five Elements of Life, the protagonist comes face to face with the Annunaki and their threat to eradicate the Human Race in order to finally free the Universal Conscious Entity from it's binds. This would reconnect every living being in existence allowing the Universe to reshape itself and all life to wake from the Dreamscape. The final musical journey begins.

Description/Reviews: 

With “Alibi philosophical” Pandora takes a complete risk, making the most complex work of their career, without any simple commercial expedient. The mixture of various musical genres is here in full, in the purest progressive spirit, and is reflected in the surreal album cover and in the rest of the artwork, courtesy of the young artist Emoni Viruet. Songs “Apollo” and “Tony il Matto” (Tony the Fool) are the most experimental tracks, often suspended in between jazz-rock and avant-garde.
