This album is often described as a lost gem of the Italian Prog, but what the listener will get listening to this work is some decent, well-played but very calm and relaxing Italian Pop with just a few bits of a light symphonicism on numbered occasions.All tracks are extremely short, the longer one clocking under 4 minutes, most of them have a strong late-60's feeling, when Beat was the king of music in Italy with sax solos, soft pianos, heavy lyrical moments (dealing with religious themes) and some psychedelic guitars parts.A few of them though contain some strong flute drives in the vein of DELIRIUM and JUMBO, offering the listener moments of a more challenging musicianship, though even these very limited instrumental parts can be described as prog, they are rather close to Psychedlic Pop/Rock than Classic Prog. Soft, melodic symphonic pop-rock, with lyrics Christian orientation, a slight touch of prog, with beautiful flute and vocals.
