It contains beautiful highly into depth emotional vocals and folk prog at first site, for its soul highly recommended. A bit more experimental electronic prog (but less nice) within song structure in "Romance", and a 17 minute very classical orchestrated track, at first not progressive, but then with jazzy elements added, and a second slightly prog rock part, with some orchestrations. Third part has a very nice adaptation of a classical medieval theme, that is really very good combined with progressive music. This track is good, and enjoyable ; not incredible at first, but at the end of it very good.
